Energy for Africa | Energy Switch Season 4, Episode 6

Six hundred million people in Sub-Saharan Africa do not have modern energy -- so African nations are working to develop their energy resources. For many, the energy they do have comes from hydro. But Africa also has huge volumes of natural gas. Some funders, concerned about emissions, don’t want them to develop it. Others consider it essential to lift Africa’s people out of poverty. Joining Dr. Scott Tinker for this discussion is: - Dr. Michael Dioha, Senior Energy System Analyst at the Clean Air Task Force - Dr. Vijaya Ramachandran, Director of Energy and Development at the Breakthrough Institute Originally aired 4/6/2024 on PBS.
