Access to green and affordable energy is a must in the global just energy transition

About this Event

There is an urgent need to exponentially increase the amount of renewable energy and fuels implemented globally. Access to green and affordable energy is a must in the just energy transition across the globe, and active cooperation programmes between European and African stakeholders can be clear drivers to support this challenging task.

In this workshop organised by the EU-funded FlowPhotoChem project, we will:

• Showcase successful case studies in the renewable energy and fuels space, sharing key advantages and challenges encountered during the design and implementation of the case study projects.
• Identify barriers and opportunities in funding new ideas for collaboration.
• Demonstrate key outputs from projects at different stages of technology development.
