Greening Africa? Technologies, endowments and the latecomer effect

► Africa has natural endowments of sunlight, hydro potential, and hydro-carbons. ► It is short of the capital, skills, and governance needed to use these endowments. ► Africa is short of power capacity so should not delay investments. ► The need to expand power capacity fast will necessitate the use of hydro-carbons. ► Greener growth requires international supply of capital, skills and governance.
