Study Report on Novel Bioenergy Crop Potential in the ECOWAS Region
The project "Regional potential assessment of novel bio energy crops in fifteen ECOWAS countries" was started by the different project partners (ECREEE, UNIDO, IIBN and QUINVITA) based on the need to make an overall assessment of a series of novel potential bio energy crops which can or could be grown and processed in the future in the 15 ECOWAS countries. This project fits in a broader strategic analysis of alternative energy needs and production, the key mandate of the main funding partner in the project, ECREEE.

The ECOWAS Sustainable Energy Journal (ESEJ) is a peer reviewed journal published annually by ECREEE. ESEJ encompasses the qualities ECREEE promotes, such as evidence-based decision-making and presentation of practical, implementable and measurable solutions. In addition to these is inclusion, for youth and women. This edition is particularly special because the research articles were developed through the ‘ECOWAS initiative on Youth Leadership Development in Energy’.
West African countries are faced with ever-increasing demands for food, water and energy, a challenge compounded by climate change. The region is confronted with significant challenges in the way it manages and utilizes water, energy, and food. Isolated management of these resources creates barriers to harnessing the benefits of the nexus approach. These benefits include enhancing water, energy, and food security by increasing efficiency, reducing trade-offs, building synergies, and improving governance across the sectors.
This document is the first Regional Progress Report on renewable energy, energy efficiency and energy access in ECOWAS region. It is based on the ‘Regional Monitoring and Reporting Framework for the ECOWAS Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Policies and the Sustainable Energy Country Action Plans'.
One of the barriers to accelerated market development is the limited level of knowledge and experience with RE technologies as well as with RE project development. To address this gap, ECREEE in cooperation with GIZ embarked on an initiative to document and disseminate the experience with some of the first grid-connected, utility-scale RE projects in the region.

Light and Livelihood - A Bright Outlook for Employment
This study examines the impact of a market transformation to off-grid lighting in terms of job loss and job creation. It focuses on the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), where 178 million people lack access to the electricity grid.

Lifting the Darkness - Effects of Fuel Subsidies
This research explores how subsidies can impede the entry of efficient lighting technologies into off-grid markets. The issue of fuel subsidies is key to understanding the dynamics of the off-grid lighting market.

Light for Life - Health and Safety Impacts of Fuel-Based Lighting
The 1.3 billion people around the world who earn approximately one dollar per day pay a much higher percentage of their income for low-grade and polluting fuel-based illumination than people who have regular access to electric lighting.
