    Making Airports PPP Work In Africa: Key Challenges and Solutions | Episode 002

    The Nigerian government is committed to achieving a Just Transition for Nigerians as it launched the Energy Transition Plan (ETP) as one of the major approaches to achieving the net-zero targets by 2060; addressing climate change and building a more sustainable economy. The transition plan for Africa largely relies on natural gas as a transition fuel; to power the continent, as it transitions away from coal, and other heavily-polluting fuels to clean energy alternatives. It is expected to become the dominant fuel both for domestic uses such as cooking and private vehicles and for industrial uses, including power generation. Also, the African continent has seen a rapid rise in the adoption of solar energy, as the fall in costs globally has made photovoltaic solar cells more readily available. We have also seen quite a few wind energy projects spring up across the continent. Africa is now expected to significantly adopt battery energy storage systems (BESS), as it builds up these renewable energy components of its power grids. Key Discussion Points Interpreting the sector at present: panelists discussed around the following themes; How they, as professionals in the natural resource sector, evaluate the risks and opportunities in the sector.The current issues that Energy Transition and the government’s ETP bring to Nigeria.How the Natural Resources Sector may contribute to Energy Transition in Nigeria.Ways in which Energy Transition can aid the development of natural resources in Nigeria.  Click to read more here.
