The DRC's Copper Potential
What makes copper so crucial to the global energy transition is that the metal is used in solar panels, wind turbines, power cables, and electrical wiring, writes Shaik Ejamani Peer Mohamed, Senior Consultant for Power Cables at Det Norske Veritas, the Norwegian energy insurance practice. Additionally, electricity demand for household and industrial use is expected to rise annually from 25 Mt currently to 36.6 Mt by 2031. With a supply forecast of 30.1 Mt, the global copper s


Unlocking Africa's Biogas Potential
Despite challenges, biogas has the potential to make a significant impact in Africa. It can be produced on a small scale for household use or on a larger scale for industrial applications. Biogas can provide energy for cooking, lighting, heating, electricity generation, and fertilizer production for agricultural purposes. In fact, researchers are even exploring ways to use biogas systems to produce animal feed.
