As we navigate the energy transition, it's important to recognize that fossil fuels, including oil and gas, will continue to play a significant role in the global energy mix for the foreseeable future. According to Rystad Energy, over 75% of total global energy demand will still be met by fossil fuels by 2030. This trend is particularly relevant for emerging markets like East Africa, where rapid population growth and industrialization are driving increased energy needs. In these regions, the sheer scale of economic development means that solar and wind energy alone may not be sufficient to power emerging industries and urban expansion. While investments in renewable energy are critical and are expected to grow, a diversified energy strategy that includes fossil fuels is essential to meet the immediate and future demands of these fast-growing economies. The ongoing development of cleaner fossil fuel technologies and initiatives to offset carbon emissions will also play a crucial role in this balanced approach. It's clear that the path to a sustainable energy future is nuanced and multifaceted. As we push forward with renewable energy advancements, let's also ensure that we address the current and pragmatic energy needs, especially in emerging markets, to foster both economic growth and environmental stewardship.#EnergyTransition #FossilFuels #RenewableEnergy #EastAfrica #GlobalEnergy #Industrialization
