Abstract
In this study, achievements, potentials and perspectives for renewable energy sources in Cote d'Ivoire have been investigated. Cote d'Ivoire has abundant natural sources of renewable energy such as solar and wind power, hydraulic energy, biomass energy and biogas energy. This investigation found that solar energy, biomass energy and hydraulic energy are not being utilized sufficiently at present, but these energies could play an important role in the future of Cote d'Ivoire's renewable energy. Additionally, the potential of wind energy and biogas energy needs to be investigated. The Ivorian government's attempts to utilize renewable energy have been discussed. This paper concludes with recommendations for the development of these energy resources.
