A Review of Renewable Energy Resources. Its Potentials, Benefits, and Challenges in South Sudan

South Sudan gets most of its energy from unreliable sources such as diesel generators, fuelwood, crop residue, and charcoal, all of which emit CO2. Fuelwood and charcoal use have resulted in the loss of trees and plants, which could lead to desertification, soil erosion, global warming, and the extinction of species habitats. Renewable energy sources are becoming popular in recent years due to their dependability, sustainability, and affordability. This study looked at the potential for renewable energy in South Sudan and its benefits and challenges. Despite the huge potential for hydropower and solar, the country’s renewable energy industry has seen little development. The benefits associated with renewables include providing long-term growth, economic development, and increased access to electricity. Limited renewable policies, technological limitations, financial barriers, inadequate infrastructure, a scarce skilled labor force, and political barriers are the obstacles to the country’s renewable energy development.
