ICTs for climate change mitigation One of the UN Millennium Development Goals is to make the benefits of new technologies - especially information and communications technologies (ICTs) – available to both industrialized nations and developing regions. In light of these goals, several projects have been founded by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Dev

emissions from renewable power is calculated as renewable generation divided by fossil fuel generation multiplied by reported emissions from the power sector. This assumes that, if renewable power did not exist, fossil fuels would be used in its place to generate the same amount of power and using the same mix of fossil fuels. In countries and
Democratic Republic of the Congo
The DRC has immense and varied energy potential, consisting of non-renewable resources, including oil, natural gas, and uranium, as well as renewable energy sources, including hydroelectric, biomass, solar, and geothermal power.
IFC, Globeleq, and Others Partner to Develop Large-Scale Solar
Together with IFC and Globeleq, we will build a landmark power plant for the DRC that will catalyze its nascent independent renewable energy industry," said Greenshare Congo DRC representative, Dr. Adolphe Ngoyi Kitengie.
Democratic Republic of Congo: Energy Country Profile
Low-carbon energy sources include nuclear and renewable technologies. This interactive chart allows us to see the country''s progress on this. It shows the share of energy that comes from low-carbon sources. We look at data on renewables and nuclear energy separately in
Democratic Republic of the Congo
Renewables are mainly used to generate electricity, though renewable technologies can also be used for heating in homes and buildings. Renewable biofuels are also an emerging technology solution to decarbonise parts of the transport sector.
Energy in the Democratic Republic of the Congo
The DRC has a wide diversity of natural resources, allowing it to consider a significant growth in hydro, wind and solar energy. It has been called "a virtual continent." For the first time in Africa, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has adopted an interactive atlas of

Democratic Republic of the Congo Energy Outlook
Less than 10% of the population has access to electricity today, making Democratic Republic of the Congo the country with the largest number of people without access in Africa after Nigeria. Mini-grids account for more than half of all new connections in the AC.
Democratic Republic of the Congo
The Democratic Republic of Congo has huge hydropower potential while also dealing with extreme energy poverty. Some of these energy sources are used directly while most are transformed into fuels or electricity for final consumption. as well as energy produced by nuclear fission and renewable power sources such as hydro, wind and solar
