It is vital that we think ahead and find alternative, sustainable sources of energy that will cause less harm to our planet. The potential of solar energy is huge and the African continent is blessed with an abundance of sunlight. The Sahara alone can generate enough electricity to satisfy the energy demands of Africa and Europe, provided in-depth knowledge and research is applied, and a robust infrastructure is put in place to trap, store, distribute, maintain and use this renewable source of energy. With foresight, determination, dedication and commitment, we can establish a long-term supply of energy on economies of scale and scope.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">As scientists, we are determined to conduct research that has immediate practical applications by opening and broadening the energy agenda and by systematically incorporating solar energy. It is argued that there is still an abundance of fossil fuel and it will not face depletion in the immediate future. However, if we wish to protect our environment for future generations it is imperative that we identify and develop another source of sustainable energy, and that is where solar energy plays a huge role, especially if we wish to future-proof our planet. We believe that the dearth or abundance of fossil fuels is irrelevant. It is the fact that as many sources of alternative energy with less damaging impact on the environment as possible must be actively researched, developed and used.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Datails are available at the following source: <a href=\"https:\/\/africa-and-science.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/ANSOLE-DAYS-2012-Information-Sheet.pdf\">ANSOLE DAYS 2012- Information Sheet<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0 In Partnership with the University of Yaound\u00e9 I \u2013UYI-(www.uy1.uninet.cm), the Ecole Nationale Sup\u00e9rieure des Travaux Publics-ENSTP- (www.enstp.cm) and the German-Cameroonian Coordination Office-KBK- (www.kbk-cameroon.net) ANSOLE DAYS 2012 \u201cSolar Energy for Sustainable Development\u201d 17-19 February 2012 Venue: University Yaounde I, Ngoa\u2013EKelle Yaounde, Cameroon \u00a0 Background: For a very long time, much of the world\u2019s energy requirements [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-704","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-scientific-meetings"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/africa-and-science.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/704"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/africa-and-science.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/africa-and-science.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/africa-and-science.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/africa-and-science.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=704"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/africa-and-science.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/704\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":710,"href":"https:\/\/africa-and-science.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/704\/revisions\/710"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/africa-and-science.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=704"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/africa-and-science.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=704"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/africa-and-science.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=704"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
