The Current State of Play in Biofuels Markets in Sub-Saharan Africa
The number of Sub-Saharan African (SSA) countries with nationally determined contributions (NDCs) towards greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction is steadily growing. GHG emissions in Africa were 1,144mn mt in 2020 according to data by the International Energy Agency (IEA), and Sub-Saharan Africa GHG emissions were 695mn mt – just 2.2% of global emissions.
This Downstream Insight explores recent regulatory and commercial developments in several key markets (South Africa, Zimbabwe, Malawi and Kenya) as well as the outlook to 2030 and beyond, drawing attention to the simultaneous and often contradictory development imperatives of achieving a high-growth, low-carbon economy, while increasing access to modern energy services.
