The AHEAD concept for bringing power to off-grid areas in Africa is to make modest use of renewables where it makes sense, and to drive mass deployment of ammonia and hydrogen along with small engine generators, microturbines and fuel cell systems. Coal and water could be used as input where natural gas is not available.
