The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change set the ambitious goal of limiting global warming to 1.5°C by 2050, driving efforts towards sustainable energy solutions. The shift towards cleaner energy sources is reshaping industries worldwide, leading to the rise of renewable energy integration in buildings and transportation sectors. Innovations like graphene are revolutionizing energy production and storage, while electric vehicles are envisioned not just for transport but also as energy storage units. Green hydrogen, with its high energy density and zero CO2 emissions, holds promise for a cleaner energy future, although challenges in production costs persist. Biofuels from waste products, geothermal energy utilization, and carbon capture technologies are emerging as key players in the quest for sustainable energy. The energy transition also presents opportunities for Africa to embrace new energy developments and play a significant role in the global shift towards clean energy solutions.
