Six Research Areas
Problem-oriented research across energy systems and environmental sustainability, from transitions and storage to climate, health, and resource management.
Energy Transitions
Pathways from fossil fuels to renewable energy systems, including policy frameworks, technology adoption, and socio-economic dimensions of clean energy shifts.
Energy Storage
Battery technologies, pumped hydro, thermal storage, and hybrid systems for grid stability and off-grid reliability across sub-Saharan Africa.
Energy, Society and Environment
Social dimensions of energy access, community energy models, energy poverty, gender and equity in energy systems, and environmental trade-offs.
Environment and Health
Air and water quality, pollution impacts on human health, occupational hazards in energy sectors, and environmental determinants of disease in Africa.
Environmental Management
Waste management, environmental impact assessment, natural resource governance, and regulatory instruments for sustainable development.
Environment and Climate
Climate change impacts, adaptation strategies, resilience building, carbon accounting, and mitigation pathways for vulnerable ecosystems and communities.
