Energy is central to the economic, environmental and
developmental issues facing the world today. Clean, efficient,
affordable and reliable energy services are indispensable for
global prosperity. The developing countries in particular need
to expand access to reliable and modern energy services if they
are to reduce poverty and improve the health of their citizens.
Energy is important in order to increase productivity, enhance
competitiveness and promote economic growth.
A well-performing energy system that improves access to modern
forms of energy would strengthen the opportunities for the poor
people to escape the severe impacts of poverty. It is also
essential for their government to meet the wider developmental
objectives. Economic growth goes hand in hand with increased
access to modern energy services, especially in low- and
middle-income countries transitioning through the phase of
accelerated industrial development.
Effective utilisation
of Energy is a key component in creating a sustainable energy
system, as it extends the life of the finite resources, reduces
environmental impacts, secures supplies for the long-term and
offers attractive economic returns. However, increasing access
to energy services really depends on an enhanced supply;
fortunately, this can be safely achieved by using a wide variety
of renewable sources, some of which, are already well-developed.
We
proffer
a sustainable energy solution that takes into account the
problems facing current energy production. We combine both
conventional and renewable energy sources with effective energy
utilisation to create a sustainable energy system that can
easily be adopted by the people in
developing countries. |
