Biomass from agro-industrial waste represents a sustainable resource for bioenergy
production. JUS DELICE, a pineapple processing factory in Togo generates large
streams of waste but relies solely on composting as waste ...
In West Africa, reliance on firewood for cooking contributes to deforestation and
household air pollution, while agro-industrial residues such as Okara and yam
peels are often discarded, creating environmental challenges. ...
The management of soil contaminated with heavy metals, especially that ofabandoned mining sites, represents a major challenge for environmentalprotection. Among the possible solutions, phytoremediation offers promisingprospects ...
This thesis investigates the economic viability of producing, storing, and exporting
green hydrogen from Niger to Europe, addressing a notable gap in existing research.
Niger has abundant solar energy potential, substantial ...
Energy insecurity and environmental degradation remain significant challenges for
development in West Africa. Togo illustrates these issues through rapid population growth,
urbanization, and a heavy reliance on imported ...
The growing need for renewable energy sources has driven attention of researchers
in biohydrogen as a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels. This study explored the

Palm kernel shell (PKS), an abundant agro-industrial residue, represents a largely
underutilized biomass resource in West Africa despite its high fixed carbon content
and structural properties that make it suitable for ...
The growing challenges of organic waste accumulation, energy insecurity, and environmental degradation in West Africa underscore the need for sustainable waste-to-energy solutions. Poultry manure (PM) and cocoa pod husks ...
This thesis evaluates the feasibility of integrating sustainable alternative
bioenergy into Guinea’s energy system to support both short and long-term
development goals. The study examined crop residues and municipal ...
The importation of urea fertilizer into West Africa has shown an increase over the years due population growth, which puts a threat to food security. The importation urea fertilizer is disrupted by volatile global markets ...
Global development has made energy more vital across many sectors, including agriculture,
industries, health, transportation, and communications, among others. Governments around the world
are hoping to attain emissions ...
Ghana’s energy sector remains heavily dependent on fossil fuels, posing significant challenges to energy security, environmental sustainability, and economic development. Bioethanol represents a viable alternative to fossil ...
Despite Mali’s abundant biomass resources, its potential for bioenergy production
remains untapped, contributing to persistent energy insecurity, heavy reliance on
traditional biomass and imported fossil fuels. This study ...
Green hydrogen production via alkaline water electrolysis (A-WE) is a crucial technology for sustainable energy transition. The efficiency and durability of electrolyzers strongly depend on the transport properties within ...
