Abstract
Modern energy services are essential to human development, productivity, competitiveness, and economic growth [1–3]. Despite gains over the last three decades, based on 2010 data, about 1.3 billion people do not have access to electricity and about 2.6 billion people still rely on traditional biomass fuels such as fuelwood, charcoal, agricultural waste, and animal dung for cooking and heating [4]. Most of the people without access to modern energy services live in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. The majority of them, about eight out of ten people, live in rural areas [4]. It is projected that close to 1 billion people will lack access to electricity and 2.6 billion will continue to use traditional biomass fuels in 2030. Innovative financial mechanisms blending public and private sector resources are required to address this development challenge.
