Development of solar and bioenergy technology in Africa for green development—Addressing barriers and untapped potential

Globally, over quarter of population experiences energy crisis, particularly those living in rural communities of developing countries. Many of such victims are the people within the Africa continent. More than 600 million people lives in Africa without access to electricity. Energy use is a require...
