Introduction
After having completed my master’s degree in prestigious institutes in Europe, my enthusiasm and passion gave me an excellent opportunity to work with senior researchers/professors in the areas of renewable energy. I have been engaged in several national and international collaborative research and capacity-building projects. I was and am currently participating as a focal person and member in several projects funded by the European Union, ESRC UK, Innovate UK, Kf Germany.

Ethiopia is committed to using sustainable energy sources due to the limited availability of traditional fuel and their environmental damage. This study examines the viability of biofuels as an alternative fuel source in Ethiopia for community’s sustainable transition to cleaner energy. The research reviews relevant publications, policies, initiati...
In Ethiopia, renewable energy offers people an affordable, dependable, and eco-friendly power supply while decreasing the carbon footprint. However, delivering a renewable future for the country requires a massive change in social practices and systems of provision. The slow progress of renewable development is hindering the
transition to a cleaner...
Energy is one of the primary inputs in textile and garment processing industries and its cost share is reported between 5 and 10% of the total production cost in developed countries but is far higher in developing countries. The textile and garment sector is one of the fast growing economic sectors in developing nations like Ethiopia which have ver...
Africa has limited capacity to develop its own energy technologies and has been largely dependent on importation for its economic development. It is anticipated that there will be huge challenge for the very limited manufacturing industries in the continent to respond to the increasing energy demand. This will largely require the up scaling of the...

Properly recorded solar radiation data are very important in providing accurate information on solar radiation intensity and potential for the application of any solar energy technology. Since such type of data is hardly available in most developing countries like Ethiopia, analysis of temporal and spatial variations of solar radiation is essential...
The availability of solar energy resource information in Ethiopia is limited due to the lack of ground measurement stations. The aim of this work was, therefore, to estimate the temporal variation and spatial distribution of solar radiation for Geba catchment located in the Northern part of Ethiopia based on four selected measurement sites. To achi...
Municipal solid waste (MSW) is a waste discarded by the public in their everyday activities. The generation of municipal solid waste at Mekelle city has grown steadily mainly due to increase in population. There is severe health and environmental impact due to lack of awareness and technologies for the utilization of municipal solid waste into valu...
Waste to energy concept is one of the best methods, which not only consider the environment but also generate energy from municipal solid waste (MSW). Generation of MSWs at Mekelle city, Ethiopia, has grown steadily mainly due to migration of people from rural areas. However, the waste has not been managed and utilised as a useful resource due to l...
