Abstract: The threat of climate change has induced the energy markers and dictated the focus for transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources. Solar, and wind are intermittent sources, therefore, there is a need to extend the range of renewable sources to consider biomass to deal with storage, seasonality, and intermittency issues. This paper discusses biomass’s efficiency, dispatchability, and cost-effectiveness for the African region grid and a baseload solution for off-grid installations in remote areas.
