Abstract
Promoting sustainable energy solutions in sub-Saharan countries is
crucial for addressing energy poverty, reducing carbon emissions, and fostering
long-term environmental and economic sustainability. This study explored using
indigenous knowledge and emerging technologies to reduce carbon footprints and
GHG emissions in Africa's climate hotspots in sub-Saharan countries. The study
revealed that operating institutions utilize various applications to ensure that
energy management resources can mitigate the effects of carbon emissions. The
study revealed that the most efficient use of natural resources for energy
production requires collaboration among governments, private sectors, NGOs, and
local communities. By adopting a holistic and inclusive approach, one can work
toward a more sustainable and low-carbon energy future. This paper focuses on
carbon footprint analysis and proposes solutions to address environmental issues
in implementing sustainable energy solutions in sub-Saharan countries. A
multifaceted approach involving effective strategies is needed to lower the carbon
footprint. The contribution of this study is to improve energy consumption in
communities in Africa by integrating climate resilience considerations into
sustainable energy projects to ensure long-term viability. This will involve
planning for changing climate conditions, such as extreme weather events, and
designing infrastructure that can withstand and adapt to these challenges. It has
been concluded that carbon footprint analysis is useful for determining the impacts
of carbon particles in the world’s atmosphere. The role of energy management
operations seeks to improve the assessment and analysis of carbon footprints by
allowing atmospheric measurements of carbon.
