About The Conference
Higher GDP and development levels have been linked with greater energy use, access, reliability, and affordability (World Bank, 2022). There is no route to economic development without greater energy consumption (World Bank, 2022). Energy availability and access take a center stage in national discussions as it enables job creations and the development of essential services such as education or healthcare. More than 600 million people in Sub-Saharan Africa are living without electricity according to World Bank research. Reports from SEforAll indicate that achieving SDG 7 will accelerate the achievement of ten out of seventeen SDGs because of the dependence of the other SDGs on renewable energy. While countries in the African continent are committed to achieving SDG7 which is ensuring access to affordable, reliable, sustainable, and modern energy for all by 2030, various studies have shown that the major challenges in the renewable energy sector include the high cost of renewable energy solutions, the lack of knowledge about them, the absence of technologies that are suitable to the local context, low research and development efforts, and technical skills gap in the field of clean energy. In order to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals in Africa, effective collaboration between academia and industry is necessary to create a sustainable and transformative win-win situation for all stakeholders. However, research conducted by African institutions addressing the unique challenges faced by the continent often ends up in academic libraries with little or no impact on society.
To address this issue, the Africa International Conference on Clean Energy and Energy Storage (AICCEES) aims to bring together researchers and industry experts to share knowledge and discuss innovative solutions for the clean energy transition in Africa. The conference will feature industry leaders, experts, researchers, government agencies, regulators, multilateral organizations, industry bodies, and more in the field of clean energy and energy storage. Other objectives of the conference are; Tinker solutions that are fit for Africa. This is why this conference brings the academia, industry, and regulators to be in one space to discuss issues that concern the clean energy sector and energy storage in Africa. Ignite research specific to the clean energy sector in Africa for research driven clean energy transition and energy storage policies.
The scope of the conference is both contemporary and original research, innovative solutions for the clean energy sector, and energy storage systems. The themes of the conference include (but are not limited to);
Energy storage
Hydrogen development in Africa
Battery materials and manufacturing in Africa
Renewable energy systems
Energy transition in Africa
Energy transition economics
Mini – grids
Clean mobility
Clean cooking
Energy transition finance
Call For Research Paper Submission
Having identified that energy storage is critical to the transition from polluting fuels to cleaner energy, Tonipash Sustainable Energy Talk™, a flagship clean energy and climate change awareness program by Tovero Energy is organising the first ever Africa International Conference on Clean Energy and Energy Storage to hold on the 23rd and 24th November, 2023. Tovero Energy is supported by the Energy Access and Renewable Energy Technology programme offered by Offshore Technology Institute, University of Port Harcourt.
Submission Of Abstract
The AICCEES 2023 Conference welcomes abstract submissions from researchers in the academia, clean energy industry experts, policy makers and regulators, mining companies, clean energy companies, E-mobility Companies, and the general public.
All abstracts received will be compiled in a book of Abstracts supplement. Abstracts should be a maximum of two pages and must be submitted via this Link : http://bit.ly/AICCEES-submission
