Renewable energy in Sub-Saharan Africa
From bioenergy from waste streams to small scale and off grid solar panels, in Sub-Saharan Africa are plenty of opportunities for clean electricity. Around 600 million people in this region do not yet have access to energy. At the same time, the region has many renewable resources and the demand for energy exceeds the supply in many places.
Partners for Innovation supports companies, governments and NGOs in initiating, developing and implementing projects, policies and programs for clean energy in Sub-Saharan Africa. In addition we implement sustainable projects ourselves.
Our key activities include:
Coega Biomass Centre – Together with Finco Energy and ILive South Africa we run a pellet factory in Port Elizabeth, South Africa, including harvesting and transportation of alien invasive trees, pellet production and shipment.
GET.invest Finance Catalyst– We assist renewable energy projects in Sub-Saharan Africa, the Caribbean and the Pacific to reach financial close through implementation of the European program GET.invest Finance Catalyst,
Certification of renewable fuels– We work together with Control Union Certifications on the certification of renewable fuels for the American market as alternative for fossil fuels.
