In Central and West Africa, public policies are accelerating (Gabon Climate Plan towards 80% decarbonized energy, Cameroon Green Energy Strategy, Mission 300 initiative for electrification). In this context, biomass energy and cogeneration <strong>are proving strategic to provide dispatchable power and industrial heat, valorize local residues (bagasse, palm kernels, coconut husks, rice husks, sawdust) and substitute imported fuels. They address NDC challenges, CEMAC energy independence, and access to energy, while requiring professionalization, air quality, and sustainability of supplies.<\/strong> The Certificate is based on<\/p>\n<p>: 100% online, asynchronous, 5\u20138 hours\/week, with guided workshops (HOMER Pro, RETScreen Expert, PVsyst for hybrid couplings, Excel) and real African case studies (SOSUCAM, SOCAPALM, CIB; projects in Cameroon and Ivory Coast). You will perform sizing calculations (boilers, heat networks, steam\/ORC CHP, gasification), mass\/energy balances, financial modeling (LCOE\/LCOH, IRR, CAPEX\/OPEX), as well as carbon analyses and environmental compliance. The curriculum is strictly aligned with <strong>UNIVGA Method<\/strong> EN ISO 17225 \u2014 IRENA Bioenergy \u2014 IEA Bioenergy \u2014 ADEME \u2014 FAO Bioenergy <strong>, and mobilizes best practices from IEC, IRENA, NREL, and ADEME. The skills acquired are immediately applicable in engineering offices, on EPC sites, in O&amp;M operations, or within rural electrification agencies.<\/strong>At the end, the professional impact is concrete: progression towards roles such as renewable energy study engineer, solar\/wind\/hydro project manager, EPC manager, biomass plant operator, O&amp;M manager, certified installer, energy business developer, rural electrification expert, renewable energy consultant, energy auditor.
