Nigeria to reduce energy shortage through the use of solar panels in the commercial sector
The Nigerian state of Lagos, home to the country’s largest urban agglomeration, plans to commission 600 MW of solar generating capacity. As the PV Magazine says, the photovoltaic panels will be placed on the rooftops of industrial and commercial buildings, and help alleviate Lagos’ energy shortage exceeding 80%.
Hydropower is not affected by energy crises and pandemics
According to Pavel Bezrukikh, Professor of the Institute of Hydropower and Renewable Energy, MPEI, power generation based on Renewable Energy Sources (RES) has become the most effective factor in overcoming the negative consequences caused by lockdowns amid coronavirus infection. The opinion was expressed during the round table arranged by Global Energy Association and the Energy Policy magazine.
Energy transition focus only on wind and solar can lead to significant problems
Energy Transition 4.0 is traditionally associated with development of solar and wind generation, but such a rather narrow approach can lead to a number of problems, said Irina Ananich, Head of the International Cooperation Department of the Federal State Budgetary Organization Russian Energy Agency (REA) of the Energy Ministry of the Russian Federation, at the round table organised by the Global Energy Association and the Energy Policy magazine.
RES and controlled thermonuclear fusion may become the basis of the global energy balance by the end of the 21st century
Even at the end of the 21st century, such thermal energy sources as oil, gas and coal will account for 5-10% of the world energy balance. The share of renewable energy sources (RES) will be 85-90%, but only if mankind is able to master the controlled thermonuclear fusion technology, according to the opinion of Valery Bessel, Professor of Gubkin Oil and Gas University, expressed during the round table arranged by the Global Energy Association and the Energy Policy Journal.
