Sub-Saharan Africa is yet to Harness Cogeneration’s Potential as a Green Power-generating Mechanism – Frost & Sullivan
Cogeneration can provide additional and valuable revenue streams to agro-based and wood-based industries, while assisting in meeting the growing power supply gap faced by many African countries.
“Government support and a clearly defined policy on using by-products, such as bagasse, as a substitute to fossil fuel are required,” advised Van Den Berg. “Common protocols and standards regarding cogeneration, together with clear policies offering clarity on investment security, can steer cogeneration towards becoming a substantial long-term green power-generating mechanism.”
The Emerging Cogeneration Market in Sub-Saharan Africa is part of the Energy & Power Growth Partnership Service programme, which also includes research in the following markets: Grid Integration Challenges of Renewable Energy in South Africa, Global Diesel Generator Set Market, Global Gas Genset Market and Investment Opportunities for Independent Power Producers in West Africa. All research included in subscriptions provide detailed market opportunities and industry trends that have been evaluated following extensive interviews with market participants.
