The intent of this proposal is to organize the first international workshop devoted to evaluate options for "Expanding Renewable Energy to Reduce Global Emissions - A Case Study for US and Africa". The workshop will involve energy experts, researchers, and university scholars / students as well as policy makers and market players as participants and invited speakers at plenary and panel sessions. The venue for the workshop in Sub-Saharan Africa will provide the US participants with knowledge of renewable energy issues and related environmental problems on the African continent that may affect climate change on a global scale. In addition, it promotes interaction and collaboration of US participants with colleagues from Africa.The intellectual merits of the proposed workshop include (1) new understanding of renewable energy resource applications for achieving its adaptation to Climate Change impacts; (2) development of fundamental understanding of computation methods for mitigation and control of energy use as well as identification of necessary control applications and computational intelligence needed to address environmental pollution from greenhouse gases; and (3) understanding new trends in US and Sub-Saharan African power industry that are focused on meeting the energy balance through various energy sources through development of innovative ways to tackle global climate change issues; cost benefit and social implications of renewable energy. The broader impacts include (1) promoting and developing renewable energy resources to meet energy demand and promote national security; (2) promoting integration of research and education activities and training of students among US and Africa collaborations on areas of climate change and renewable energy and the economic and social impacts on standards of living; (3) promoting activities that lead to joint research activities between US and African participants as documented by increased joint journal publications.

该提案的目的是组织第一个致力于评估“扩大可再生能源以减少全球排放的选择的选择 - 对美国和非洲的案例研究”。该研讨会将涉及能源专家，研究人员和大学学者 /学生，以及政策制定者和市场参与者作为参与者，并在全体会议和小组会议上邀请演讲者。撒哈拉以南非洲研讨会的场地将为美国参与者提供有关非洲大陆上可再生能源问题和相关环境问题的知识，这些问题可能会影响全球范围内的气候变化。此外，它促进了美国参与者与非洲同事的互动和合作。拟议的研讨会的智力优点包括（1）对可再生能源资源应用的新了解，以实现其对气候变化影响的适应性； （2）开发对缓解和控制能源使用的计算方法的基本理解，以及确定必要的控制应用程序和计算智能，以解决温室气体的环境污染； （3）了解美国和撒哈拉以南非洲电力行业的新趋势，这些趋势着重于通过各种能源来实现能源平衡，通过发展创新的方式来解决全球气候变化问题；可再生能源的成本收益和社会影响。更广泛的影响包括（1）促进和开发可再生能源以满足能源需求并促进国家安全； （2）促进我们和非洲之间的学生和非洲培训的整合以及对气候变化和可再生能源领域的合作以及对生活水平的经济和社会影响的合作； （3）促进导致美国和非洲参与者之间联合研究活动的活动，如增加联合期刊出版物所记录的。
