EcoNile Organization delivered an insightful workshop at Shendi University exploring the feasibility of renewable energy solutions in Sudan, with a particular focus on the country’s untapped geothermal potential. This workshop formed part of EcoNile’s ongoing efforts to advance sustainable energy knowledge and support national transitions toward cleaner, more resilient energy systems.
The sessions guided participants through the economic and environmental dimensions of renewable energy development, emphasizing how energy costs, long‑term savings, and carbon reduction benefits shape the viability of different technologies. A significant portion of the workshop highlighted geothermal energy—an underexplored resource in Sudan with promising potential. Through scientific analysis and case‑based discussions, participants examined how geothermal systems could contribute to diversifying the national energy mix and strengthening energy security.
The workshop concluded that, with proper exploration, investment, and policy support, geothermal energy could emerge as a transformative resource for Sudan. Its integration into the national energy strategy would not only support climate goals but also enhance sustainable development across multiple sectors.
The event brought together academic leaders and experts from Shendi University, including the university president, the dean of the College of Science and Technology, the dean of the College of Engineering, and other distinguished faculty members. Their engagement underscored the importance of academic–civil society collaboration in shaping Sudan’s renewable energy future.
