CSP is a powerful and exciting technology for large-scale solar power generation. Although it has been in use since the 1980’s, it is still seen as somewhat new and emerging, with innovation and efficiency improvements under active development in this episode Dr. Sulaiman Fadlallah discuss with what is a CSP system in general and the significant scope for the amount of CSP generated power to grow appreciably over the coming years, given the advances in heat transfer fluids and thermal energy retention. In short, there appears to be a bright future for CSP. 

Who is Dr. Sulaiman Fadlallah is currently a lecturer in Engineering (Mechanical) at the School of Computing and Engineering, University of Huddersfield, UK. He received his Bachelor of Engineering degree in Mechatronics Engineering and Master of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering from Sultan Qaboos University, Oman and PhD degree in Mechanical Engineering from Auckland University of Technology, New Zealand. He has authored and co-authored over twenty four journal articles in top journals, a book chapter and eight conference proceedings. His current research interests include Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) systems, Fluid-Structure Interaction, Computational Fluid Dynamics, Composite Materials, and Engineering Mechanics and Design applications.

Play Energy Podcast Season 02 Episode 01: Microfinancing in Energy transition

Microfinancing can be one of the best solutions to promote and implement project related to energy transition and to electrify rural areas in this episode Dr. Natalia Realpe Carrillo discuss with what is microfinancing in general and the relation between the microfinancing and energy transition, she also discusses the impact of microfinancing in energy transition on the behavior of the community (affordability and the quality of energy).

Who is Dr.Natalia: She holds a PhD Degree in access to energy from the Institute of Energy Engineering (TU Berlin). In 2018, she launched HEDERA, aimed at transferring her doctoral research results - the Progress out of Energy Poverty Index (PEPI) Toolkit for the microfinance sector - into the private sector and further develop and offer digital tools for the impact investment sector.

Climate change is an emergency concern yet, many people including policy makers remain skeptical of this phenomenon. Central to this problem is the issue of energy. The use of fossil fuels is a leading cause of climate change however, many economies in the world are still dependent on such energy sources. This has made the switch to cleaner and renewable energy sources a major dilemma in the policy discourse. In todays episode we will be discussing the role of youth in in accelerating the energy transition thus reach 1.5°C climate goals. Our guest Nyashadzashe Kunaka from Zimbabwe talks about students Energy and THE GLOBAL YOUTH ENERGY OUTLOOK an ambitious new youth-led initiative that aims to build the first global dataset of youth perspectives on the energy transition.

In the first part of the 3rd episode Mr. Reda Amrani has talked about the decarbonization and energy around the world stating how big Oil & Gas companies are taking bold actions in this context, the second part will be dedicated to look through the Algerian Oil & Gas market and what are the technological solutions that would be considered to reach a net zero goal.

If the world is to come anywhere near to meeting its climate-change goals, the oil and gas (O&G) industry will have to play a big part.

Published in 2020, a report by Mckinsey shows that the industry’s operations account for 9 % of all human-made greenhouse-gas emissions. In addition, it produces the fuels that create another 33 % of global emissions.

The O&G sector will play an important role in the global energy transition; how it will face that future is a matter of strategy. As transparency increases, so may expectations. Customers, employees, and investors are already starting to distinguish the leaders from the laggards. O&G companies that will developpe this side could find themselves better positioned for change. Advancement in technologies, the falling cost of digitalization, and the ever-widening connectivity of devices provide a real competition-beating opportunity to upstream O&G companies who play the digital revolution right. The lower-for-longer downturn and moderating operational gains have provided an extra incentive—or turned the opportunity into a need—for companies to save millions from their operating costs and, most importantly, make their $3.4 trillion asset base smarter and more efficient.

Electricity is an integral part of all modern economies, supporting a range of critical services from healthcare to banking to transportation. The secure supply of electricity is thus of paramount importance. The power sector is going through fundamental changes: decarbonization, digitalization expanding the surface for cyberattacks, and climate change leading to more extreme weather events and most recently a pandemic. In response, governments, industries and other stakeholders will need to improve their frameworks for ensuring electricity security through updated policies, regulations and market designs. 

In this episode Prof.Dr. Joseph Mutale express his views and opinions about three majore topics; the electricity security during energy transitions, Enhancing cyber resilience and Enhancing climate resilience is important and much more for the African continent.
