Africa's Path to Net-Zero explores the challenges and opportunities for African countries in transitioning to sustainable energy. It presents four scenarios for achieving net-zero emissions by 2050, emphasizing the importance of renewable energy sources, policy reforms, and international cooperation. The book highlights the socioeconomic and environmental factors unique to Africa and provides insights and practical strategies for policymakers, businesses, and individuals. Through case studies, it illustrates both successes and challenges faced by African nations in their efforts to transition to a low-carbon economy. The authors aim to empower future leaders and students with knowledge to drive sustainable energy initiatives.

Electricity from renewable sources of energy is plagued by fluctuations (due to variations in wind strength or the intensity of insolation) resulting in a lack of stability if the energy supplied from such sources is used in 'real time'. An important solution to this problem is to store the energy electrochemically (in a secondary battery or in hydrogen and its derivatives) and to make use of it in a controlled fashion at some time after it has been initially gathered and stored. Electrochemical battery storage systems are the major technologies for decentralized storage systems and hydrogen is the only solution for long-term storage systems to provide energy during extended periods of low wind speeds or solar insolation. Future electricity grid design has to include storage systems as a major component for grid stability and for security of supply. The technology of systems designed to achieve this regulation of the supply of renewable energy, and a survey of the markets that they will serve, is the subject of this book. It includes economic aspects to guide the development of technology in the right direction. Provides state-of-the-art information on all of the storage systems together with an assessment of competing technologies; Features detailed technical, economic and environmental impact information of different storage systems; Contains information about the challenges that must be faced for batteries and hydrogen-storage to be used in conjunction with a fluctuating (renewable energy) power supply.
