The International Conference on Phytochemistry, Textile, &
Renewable Energy Technologies for Sustainable Development (ICPTRE
2020) was hosted by the World bank funded Africa Centre of
Excellence in Phytochemicals, Textile and Renewable Energy
(ACEII-PTRE) based at Moi University in conjunction with Donghua
University, China and the Sino-Africa International Symposium on
Textiles and Apparel (SAISTA). The theme of the conference was
Advancing Science, Technology and Innovation for Industrial Growth.
The research relationships between universities and industry have
enabled the two entities to flourish and, in the past, have been
credited for accelerated sustainable development and uplifting of
millions out poverty. ICPTRE 2020 therefore provided a platform for
academic researchers drawn from across the world to meet key
industry professionals and actively share knowledge while advancing
the role of research in industrial development, particularly, in
the developing nations. The conference also provided exhibitors
with an opportunity to interact with professionals and showcase
their business, products, technologies and equipment. During the
course of the conference, industrial exhibitions, research papers
and presentations in the fields of phytochemistry, textiles,
renewable energy, industry, science, technology, innovations and
much more were presented.
This book argues that renewable electrification in developing
countries provides important opportunities for local economic
development, but new pathways are required for turning these
opportunities into successful reality. Building Innovation
Capabilities for Sustainable Industrialisation offers a novel input
into the debate on development of capabilities for sustainable
industrialisation and delivers key insights for both researchers
and policy makers when it comes to the question of how to increase
the economic co-benefits of renewables expansion. The chapters in
the book use a tailored analytical framework in their studies of
renewable electrification efforts in Kenya and other countries in
sub-Saharan Africa. They draw on a mix of project, sector and
country level case studies to address questions such as: What
capabilities are developed through on-going renewable
electrification projects in developing economies? How can the
expansion of renewable electrification be supported in a way that
also encourages sustainable economic development? What role do
international linkages (South-South and North-South) play and what
role should they play in the greening of energy systems in
developing economies? The authors provide a new understanding of
how green transformation and sustainable industrialisation can be
combined, highlighting the opportunities and constraints for local
capability building and the scope for local policy action. This
book will be of great interest to students and scholars of
development studies, energy studies, sustainability and sustainable
development, as well as practitioners and policy makers working in
development organisations and national governments. The Open Access

In the modern energy-demanding lifestyle there is an overwhelming
need for exploring sources of energy which are renewable and
eco-friendly. Bioconversion of biowaste streams for energy
production is an increasingly promising option. Through the biogas
value chain, bioconversion presents a very attractive route to
valorise various biowaste and enables communities to meet their
energy needs, conserve resources and protect the environment.
However there are challenges in sustainable implementation of
biogas technology. The book has therefore reviewed the biogas value
chain from a critical sustainability perspective. It has also
covered a detailed case study of the potential of biogas production
from biowaste in Kenya and how it influences environmental
sustainability. The evaluation of biowaste energy potential and the
development of a simple yet effective methodology to assess its
sustainability are some of the key issues that this book has
addressed. In addition, the book also incorporates a thought
provoking analysis of the potential contribution of biowaste-based
biogas energy to environmental sustainability from an integrated
industrial and domestic case study perspective.
