Slide 10 3.AfDB Clean Energy For Development Investment Framework 3 Pillars: Increase Energy Access in Sub- Saharan Africa Transition to Low Carbon Economy Adaptation to Climate Change
Slide 11 Energy in Africa Gas Flaring in Gulf of Guinea
Slide 12 Energy in Africa Africa has 13% of global population but consumes 5% of global energy and 3% of global electricity Only 23% of population in SSA and 91% in North Africa has access to electricity yet world average is 73% Lowest energy consumption per capita of 0.7 toe compared to world average of 1.6 toe Traditional biomass (wood fuel and charcoal) contributes to over 82% of energy used in SSA-less South Africa Between 2000 and 2050, absolute number of people depending on biomass expected to rise from 583 to 823 million
Slide 13 Energy in Africa Abundant resources available (hydro, oil, natural gas, biomass) but not developed Unevenly distributed resources yet poor interstate energy trade. (Oil and Natural gas are in North and West Africa and Coal in Southern Africa) Energy fuel/source reservesconsumption / year Reserves / consumption Oil (in Mtoe) years Natural Gas (in trillion m 3 ) years Coal (in Mt) years
Slide 14 Energy and development nexus Energy is central to all developmental interventions Energy is a pre-requisite for poverty alleviation and attainment of the MDGs The poor are forced to pay a higher price for their energy. The price is paid in form of: Human time and labour Economic cost Health costs (mainly indoor air pollution), and Social and gender impact of energy services.
Slide Clean Energy Investment Framework Two pronged approach to Climate Change: Clean energy and low-carbon economy Focus on cleaner utilisation of fossil fuels Increased used of renewables Attention to increasing access to energy Adaptation to climate change Climate proofing of investments Integration of adaptation into project cycle
Slide Clean Energy Investment Framework Major energy challenges : strengthening energy security for macroeconomic stability, improving energy services for economic growth and better quality of life, and reducing environmental and human health threats from energy production and use. Low carbon drive must not have additional cost on the poor Shared but differentiated responsibilities
Slide Clean Energy Investment Framework Strategies clean energy Clean energy for economic growth and sustainable development Low-cost and high-impact solutions Project Development Fund to assist the development of clean energy projects Changes in national energy fiscal and regulatory policies
Slide Clean Energy Investment Framework Adaptation challenges: Human-induced change: combustion of fossil fuels & land management practices Major challenges to Africa The poor are most vulnerable, having the least means to adapt Ensure long-term adaptation strategies compatible with short term impacts
Slide Clean Energy Investment Framework Adaptation strategies: Integrating adaptation in PRSPs, Country Strategy Papers and project cycle Disaster preparedness improvement through proactive actions – early warning systems Development of tools and checklists Research and Development
Slide Clean Energy Investment Framework Investment needs are huge $ 300 billion per year to meet rising energy demands in developing countries $ 60 billion / year additionally for a low-carbon option $ 40 billion / year as cost of adaptation Public and private resources need to be mobilised New financial instruments needed
