Ensuring sustainability in Libya with renewable
This paper highlights Libya''s potential to achieve energy self-sufficiency in the twenty-first century. In addition to its fossil energy
Since most of Libya's hydropower is off -river, there is a need for substantial storage to support the solar -based energy system. Off- river Pumped Hydro im pacts compared to on-river hydropower storage. In a mature and competitive market, solar PV has clear economic advantages over fossil fuels and hydropower.
In addition to its fossil energy resources, Libya possesses favourable conditions for solar, wind, and moderate hydroelectric energy. The solar energy potential alone energy consumption similar to developed countries for all Libyan citizens, without relying on fossil fuels. hydropower storage.
This shift towards renewable electrification of energy services, such as transportation, heating, and industry, will gradually replace fossil fuels in the coming decades. This paper highlights Libya's potential to achieve energy self-sufficiency in the twenty-first century.
To achieve the same per capita energy consumption as developed countries that do not rely on fossil fuels, Liby a would need solar parks equivalent to 1% of its land area. This would involve electrifying agriculture, and placed on unproductive lands and lakes.
