Assessment of Sustainable Energy for Agricultural Energy Provision in Rural Sub-Saharan Africa

Abstract

One technologically significant way to address the ongoing issues of the energy crisis is through the creation and implementation of a green energy system. Rural communities stand to gain greatly from the use of ecologically friendly green energy technology to support agricultural output. Investing in green energy technologies could lead to a broadening of agricultural economic development. As a result, the overview of green energy as a tool for processing food materials and rural agricultural output is the main emphasis of this work. The study's primary methods included concise systematic review techniques and descriptive approaches to solar and biogas energy technology. It was discovered that the generation of biogas and various solar energy technologies might help make agricultural production and food processing in rural communities more economical and less labour-intensive. This is due to the small-scale proportions needed in rural communities, as well as the straightforward technological pathways involved in the deployment of the energy systems. From an industrial standpoint, the spread of investment in sub-Saharan Africa's rural agricultural production and processing sectors might be significantly aided by the implementation of green energy technologies based on sound policy and financial backing from the government and stakeholders.
