Sub-Saharan Africa hungers for power

Nicholas Newman http://www.oxfordprospect.co.uk/Freelance-Journalist.html

In terms of its per-capita endowment of primary energy, sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) is close to the global average. Its 800 million people make up about 9 per cent of the world's population and they are estimated to share 8 per cent of global gas reserves, 10 per cent of the world's oil, and 13 per cent of hydropower resources – as well as much more than their fair share of solar radiation. http://www.powerengineeringint.com/articles/print/volume-19/issue-9/power-report/sub-saharan-africa-hungers-for-power.html

Peak coal approaches for Indonesia

Nicholas Newman http://www.oxfordprospect.co.uk/Freelance-Journalist.html
Indonesia has been a rising star of the global coal industry for years and is now the
world’s largest exporter of thermal coal. However, tighter restrictions on coal mining
operations and the need for infrastructural investment to reach new mines suggest the
country will be unable to maintain its current level of output growth. And just like the
country’s oil and gas, export volumes will increasingly be challenged by rising internal
demand. http://russia.platts.com/IM.Platts.Content/ProductsServices/Products/energyeconomist.pdf   see page 23.
