Strategic Framework on Bioenergy Data Management in Africa

The Strategic Framework for Bioenergy Data Management in Africa (AFBIDM) is a publication of the African Energy Commission (AFREC), motivated by the decision of the 2nd Ordinary Session of the Specialised Technical Committee on Transport Transcontinental and Interregional Infrastructure Energy and Tourism (STC TTIIET) held in Cairo, Arab Republic of Egypt, in April 2019, during which bioenergy was approved as part of AFREC thematic programmes.

Policy Brief: Will Biomass Always Fuel Africa?

The policy brief provides a detailed analysis to policy makers, on how Biomass is used in Africa.

It is developed using AFREC’s data ranging between 2012 to 2019, hence, guiding policy makers to take evidence-based solutions, which will enable a smooth transition from an energy landscape currently dominated by biomass, to a less biomass-dependent energy mix, should the current level of biomass consumption not be sustainable.
