The project will build solar plants near Bissau and install mini-grids on the Bijagós islands, thereby providing electricity to 1,200 households and SMEs. The World Bank has announced substantial financial support for Guinea-Bissau’s innovative solar power project aimed at reducing carbon emissions and increasing electricity access.
The challenge, however, is ensuring that the electricity used is derived from renewable sources — and solar energy plays a vital role in this process. Solar power offers a sustainable, cost-effective, and stable energy source for green steel production.
However, green steel manufacturing aims to replace coal-based energy with cleaner alternatives. Manufacturers can drastically cut emissions by shifting toward electricity-driven steelmaking. The challenge, however, is ensuring that the electricity used is derived from renewable sources — and solar energy plays a vital role in this process.
Integrating solar energy into steel manufacturing operations enables producers to reduce carbon emissions and lower long-term energy costs while ensuring compliance with global sustainability standards. Several key energy-related challenges are accelerating the shift toward green steel manufacturing in APAC:
