Abstract

This study robustly explores green energy solutions in Africa, underscoring the imperative rediscovery of indigenous knowledge amid the fourth industrial revolution (4IR). It aims to underscore the manifold advantages of incorporating indigenous knowledge for developing sustainable energy solutions across the continent. Addressing a central problem—the energy deficit exacerbated by Eurocentric systems, overlooking Africa's unique needs—the study uses a secondary data analysis methodology, drawing insights from diverse sources including academic articles, policy documents, and reports from international organisations. Rooted in Afrocentricity theory, the research adopts a firm decolonial perspective, unveiling cultural and historical dimensions crucial for seamlessly integrating indigenous knowledge into green energy practices. The investigation explores the transformative potential of minerals and digital technology in shaping innovative, contextually relevant solutions.
