Zimbabwe’s biogas sector remains small, but its growing application in agriculture is positioning the technology as more than a clean cooking alternative for rural households. From heating poultry and piglets to powering refrigeration, managing agricultural waste and producing organic fertiliser, biogas is increasingly being viewed as a resource that can connect energy production with agricultural…
Africa’s energy transition is gathering pace, but its electricity networks are under growing pressure. More than 600 million people across the continent still lack access to electricity, while rising demand, ageing infrastructure and limited transmission capacity are constraining efforts to turn new generation investment into reliable power. Zimbabwe illustrates the scale of the challenge. World…
The rapid growth of AI infrastructure is driving global electricity demand higher, making reliable power supply a key factor in data centre investment decisions. As hyperscale facilities require continuous energy, Africa’s vast natural gas reserves are emerging as a strategic advantage. The continent holds more than 600 trillion cubic feet of proven gas reserves, but…
Africa’s electricity systems are under growing strain as demand accelerates alongside population growth, rapid urbanisation, and industrial policy ambitions. While governments are expanding generation capacity—particularly in renewables—the transmission and distribution backbone, as well as the specialised skills required to operate it, are not keeping pace. This widening gap is emerging as a critical constraint on…
Electrification doesn’t guarantee decarbonization if the grid is still dirty. The real goal should be “efficiency first” rather than just switching to electricity.
