    Bridging the energy access divide: a policy gap analysis of 12 African national energy compacts under Mission 300
    (Colorado School of Mines. Arthur Lakes Library, 2025-07-09) Amoah, Macdonald; Colorado School of Mines. Payne Institute for Public Policy
    Africa stands at a pivotal juncture in its energy trajectory, where bold aspirations for universal electrification by 2030 confront entrenched structural and institutional barriers. Despite decades of targeted development assistance and a surge in international investment, over 600 million people across the continent remain without access to electricity, while more than 80% of rural populations continue to rely on traditional biomass for cooking. In response to this pressing challenge, twelve African governments have aligned themselves with the World Bank's Mission 300 Energy Compacts, committing to universal access through a suite of reform-oriented and infrastructure-driven strategies.

    Tokenizing the environmental attributes of liquefied natural gas
    (Colorado School of Mines. Arthur Lakes Library, 2025-07-09) Handler, Brad; McCurdy, Mark; Colorado School of Mines. Payne Institute for Public Policy
    Efforts to combat emissions of global warming/greenhouse gases are spawning the development of systems to track, record and share the carbon footprint and other environmental attributes of various operations. Methane emissions from the natural gas industry is one such area. This is in part driven by regulations coming into force in the Europe Union, which will prescribe maximum levels of emissions of methane associated with the production of liquefied natural gas (LNG) entering the region.
