Decarbonizing the Grid

Understanding the "Energy Mix" is crucial for planning the transition to net-zero emissions.

While Africa contributes the least to global greenhouse gas emissions, its energy needs are growing rapidly. The challenge is to meet this demand through Low-Carbon Sources (Hydro, Solar, Wind, Geothermal) rather than fossil fuels.

This dashboard aggregates data from multiple international sources to provide a complete picture of the continent's generation capacity, allowing users to track the carbon intensity of the African grid.
