Politecnico di Milano Energy-driven actions in Africa
Prof. Emanuela Colombo, Rector’s Delegate to “Cooperation and Development” - Politecnico di Milano UNESCO Chair in Energy for Sustainable Development Department of Energy
Energy is essential to • Socio-economic development • Quality of life for the people • Global security • Environmental protection
GOAL 7 COP21 SE4ALL
Energy Services Development
Energy & Sustainable Development
The Energy situation in Africa
Few Energy
Not Reliable
Not affordable
Not Clean nor Safe
World Energy Outlook 2014 by IEA
13% of the world’s population => 4% of energy demand
30% of global oil and gas discoveries are in SSA
Technical losses are twice the world average
Sales lost for SMEs are huge (5-15 % of the total sales)
Electricity tariffs are among the highest in the world
No domestic market: 2/3 investment are for export
80% population rely on biomass (fuelwood/ charcoal)
40% rise in bioenergy => forestry stocks + health
Energy situation is complex, diverse and multidisciplinary

1.4 Open Knowledge
A continuous flow of energy crosses our whole life. This course will take you on a journey of the world energy challenge.
We hope to drive you in a journey of 50 hours that aims to change your perspective about the energy challenge showing not only complexity but even the opportunity we, as humankind, might gain from accelerating the transition toward a more sustainable energy system.
2.1 A comprehensive energy planning Design of sustainable distributed energy solutions
