These resources hold immense potential, with Liberia boasting abundant solar irradiation and promising bioenergy in specific regions. Efforts to expand energy access also hinge on vital factors such as international partnerships, public-private collaborations, and innovative off-grid and mini-grid solutions.
The country will need to invest heavily in energy infrastructure to achieve universal access to electricity by 2030 . The primary energy sources in Liberia are traditional biomass fuels such as firewood and charcoal, which account for more than 80 % of the country's total energy consumption [5, 12, 13].
Liberia also utilizes other energy sources on a smaller scale. These include small-scale renewable energy systems such as solar and biomass. However, the contribution of these sources to the overall energy mix in Liberia is limited. Abundant and clean energy sources, reducing reliance on fossil fuels.
To overcome these challenges, Liberia has been exploring alternative solutions to reduce its dependency on imported fuels for thermal power generation. One strategy is to diversify the energy mix by increasing the share of domestic renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind power, for electricity generation.
The primary challenge to energy access in Liberia is the limited and underdeveloped energy infrastructure. The lack of adequate power generation, transmission, and distribution systems contributes to this low access rate. The electrification rate is significantly lower in rural areas, where most of the population resides .
Petroleum products, including gasoline and diesel, contribute a significant to Liberia's energy consumption. These fuels are primarily used in transportation, power generation from small diesel and gasoline generators and industrial applications. Liberia is a net importer of petroleum products, relying on imports to meet its energy needs.
