Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) has been experiencing an energy crisis. Socio-economic balances depend on access to clean, convenient, and dependable energy. This is critical for remote areas which are off the national grid, necessitating the installation of renewable energy sources such as bioenergy plants. These plants could valorize waste using combustion and gasification or biogas plants. The challenge is to produce a competitive levelized cost of electricity (LCOE). Nations like Germany and Sweden have successfully launched these. SSA can benchmark from these and valorize its biomass wastes. Key issues to consider would be cost-effective supply chains, sustainable harvest rates, after sales support, and good regulatory frameworks. This study was mostly a desktop review with a few field study observations. It was concluded that the stoker fired boiler and landfill gas ‘biomass only' technologies would have the least capital costs, although gasification and anaerobic digestion are also competitive in terms of LCOE.
