Africa realize the simultaneous development of sustainable energy and socioeconomic society

2023/7/13

The African Energy Forum was held in Nerobi in 2023. This article will discuss the key themes proposed by the conference.

Realize the simultaneous development of sustainable energy and socioeconomic and economy

The president of Kenya President William Ruto first pointed out in the opening ceremony of the meeting, and reiterated during the entire meeting that it is clear that the leaders of Africa countries believe that the development of sustainable energy and the development of socio -economic development can coexist and dense. Insperinged, it is essential for the current and future of various countries and Africa.

Because Africa has clean energy and mineral resources required to promote global sustainable energy development, coupled with Africa's vulnerable to climate change, leaders believe that they can also become leaders of global green energy transformation. Not only that, they also hope to establish an example to achieve social and economic development while pursuing sustainable energy solutions. As President Loto said, Africa can become a "clean and green future continent." With its renewable energy potential and mineral resources, Africa has the ability to discuss bargaining and can have an equal seat on the negotiating table.

As for existing examples, just look at the host country Kenya itself. 73%of the country's installed capacity and 90%of the power generation and distribution from renewable energy are from renewable energy. Kenya's economy has grown sharply over the past ten years, and has also increased the energy supply rate from less than 30%in 2013 to more than 77%in 2023.

Despite this success, Kenya's renewable energy potential only developed the tip of the iceberg. Geothermal energy accounts for nearly 50%of Kenya's power structure, but by 2030, the country plans to double this proportion. Kenya is also one of the top ten countries in the world. It has huge solar potential in the scale of public utilities and the solar energy project of the network. The country also has huge wind potential (for Africa's largest wind power field, Turkana Wind Power Project), and hydropower potential.

interconnection

Interconnection is considered a key pillar of obtaining sustainable energy and realizing the social and economic development of cross -border and across the mainland. Since the population of more than half of the African mainland has not obtained power supply, people recognize that there are no ways to go. Seeking to leave the network and grid -connected electricity power transmission project to improve domestic access. At the same time, under the promotion of the free trade zone and other regional trade agreements in the African continent, create an attractive environment. Energy trade increase. Promoting regional integration and cooperation brought about in line with pan -non -values, and can also promote tolerant economic growth.

Energy safety

Strengthening regional integration can provide advantages for energy security and regional trade. In addition, people also recognize the importance of domestic energy security. While determining the reliable basic load power supply, energy diversification is also important. Kenya and Ethiopia have renewable energy such as geothermal and hydropower, which can rely on them to provide basic load power and ensure domestic energy security.

However, some people believe that the leading development agenda led by the West placed renewable energy power on traditional energy, which is very unfair. In the short period of medium, these traditional energy sources are expected to provide stable base loads to achieve social and economic growth and ultimately promote energy diversification and decarburization. Many African countries have just begun to discover the potential of domestic natural gas reserves. If the appropriate financing plan can be found, the potential here can become strength.

Battery storage

Battery energy storage has aroused interest in African countries and is expected to become the main growth areas. Battery storage has many potential for applications in Africa, which is a key step in obtaining reliable energy (including renewable energy).

These applications include the potential disorders of balanced power generation and demand (common in the use of renewable energy), and reduce the impact of intermittent power generation. This includes load transfer, which stores excess electricity during non -peak hours, and reassembles to the power grid during peak demand periods to optimize energy consumption and reduce the pressure on the grid; Power supply, enhance the stability and elasticity of the grid.

Battery storage is extremely important in supporting key infrastructure such as hospitals and schools and providing reliable energy supply for private enterprises and citizens. In addition, mixed independent generators (IPPs) use battery storage and renewable energy sources to provide services to the industrial clusters of various key departments with battery storage, which is an emerging field of battery energy storage.

Financing

Financing is still the key to project development. The meeting was very close to the Paris Climate Summit. At the meeting, African leaders and developers repeatedly emphasized the hope of changing the financing environment. People generally hope to reduce financing burden and stabilize financing expectations through standardized, longer periods and lower interest rates. Possible solutions include the establishment of global green banks that provide funds from green taxes to find new financing solutions for energy transformation.


JIN DUN CHEMICAL has built a special (meth) acrylic monomer manufacturing base in ZHEJIANG province. This makes sure the stable supply of HEMA, HPMA, HEA, HPA, GMA with high level quality. Our special acrylate monomers are widely used for thermosetting acrylic resins, crosslinkable emulsion polymers, acrylate anaerobic adhesive, two-component acrylate adhesive, solvent acrylate adhesive, emulsion acrylate adhesive, paper finishing agent and painting acrylic resins in adhesive.We have also developed the new and special (meth) acrylic monomers and derivatives. Such as the fluorinated acrylate monomers, It can be widely used in coating leveling agent, paints, inks, photosensitive resins, optical materials, fiber treatment, modifier for plastic or rubber field. We are aiming to be the top supplier in the field of special acrylate monomers, to share our rich experience with better quality products and professional service.
