We seek to boost DRC's energy sector by investing in renewable energy solutions. We trust that renewable energy can play an important role in the country's energy security and in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Using renewable energy can help to reduce energy imports and reduce fossil fuel use.

Renewable energies are sources of clean, inexhaustible and increasingly competitive energy. Growth in clean energies is unstoppable, as reflected in statistics produced annually by the International Energy Agency (IEA). Clean energy development is vital for combating climate change and limiting its most devastating effects. 

MAIN ADVANTAGES OF CLEAN ENERGIES

• AGAINST CLIMATE CHANGE

Renewables do not emit greenhouse gases in energy generation processes, making them the cleanest, most viable solution to prevent environmental degradation.

• INEXHAUSTIBLE

Compared to conventional energy sources such as coal, gas, oil and nuclear - reserves of which are finite - clean energies are just as available as the sun from which they originate and adapt to natural cycles, hence their name “renewables”. This makes them an essential element in a sustainable energy system that allows development today without risking that of future generations

• REDUCING ENERGY DEPENDENCE

The indigenous nature of clean sources gives local economies an advantage and brings meaning to the term “energy independence”. Dependence on fossil fuel imports results in subordination to the economic and political short-term goals of the supplier country, which can compromise the security of energy supply. Everywhere in the world there is a renewable resource – whether that be the wind, sun, water or organic material – available for producing energy sustainably.

• INCREASINGLY COMPETITIVE

Nowadays renewables, specifically wind and photovoltaic, are cheaper than conventional energies in much of the world.

The main renewable technologies – such as wind and solar photovoltaic – are drastically reducing their costs, such that they are the most economically efficient way to generate electricity in a growing number of markets. Economies of scale and innovation are already resulting in renewable energies becoming at lightning speed the most sustainable solution, not only environmentally but also economically, for powering the world. 

• A FAVORABLE POLITICAL HORIZON

Decisions adopted at COP21 and forwards - like the COP25 Chile-Madrid - have shone the spotlight firmly on renewable energies.  The international community has understood its obligation to firm up the transition towards a low-carbon economy in order to guarantee a sustainable future for the planet. International consensus in favor of the “de-carbonization” of the economy constitutes a very favorable framework for the promotion of clean energy technologies.

"At Future Solution, we put a strong focus on Small and Decentralized Solar Energy Solutions"

Solar energy's greatest attraction is that it can be produced on a small scale directly by the end consumers in contrast to large centralized conventional energy sources controlled by large corporations.

Solar energy is suitable for heating and electricity generation using photo-voltaic cells installed on roof-tops of individual buildings. Medium-sized systems for community level power generation are also becoming popular. These installations are important to keep communities running at a lower cost for everyone.
The decentralized nature of solar power makes it a practical and viable energy source in remote areas located far from the electricity grid. This is crucial for agri-business in farms for running irrigation, greenhouses, and crop, making agriculture risk-free.
Technological developments and policy and subsides by the government have reduced the high costs of solar systems. So solar energy is now competitive with conventional energy sources.

The running costs are less and the initial investment is regained leading to subsequent savings in energy costs according to Greenpeace. This happens because the input for solar energy is free and clean sunlight while fossil fuels are mined and transported over long distance according to the Greenpeace myth report.

Technology can be regarded as primary source in economic development and the various technological changes contribute significantly in the development of countries.

Technological advancement and economic growth are truly related to each other.The level of technology is also an important determinant of economic growth. The rapid rate of growth can be achieved through high level of technology. 

The Internet and other advances in communication technology have helped make the spreading of globalization even quicker. For developing countries, access to technology can have many benefits —  one such improvement being the boost of a nation’s economy. Other ways that technology is helping economies in developing countries include reducing the costs of production, encouraging the growth of new business and advancing communication.

An issue that developing countries must bypass is prioritizing technology innovation, not just adapting to technology. Another issue is that the distribution of technology needs to be equal across a country; so far the poor have not been able to have the same amount of access to technology. 

"At Future Solutions we encourage innovations and job creation. We strive to address the challenge of Internet access, especially in rural areas."

Technology’s Role in Economic Development
Technology encompasses a huge body of knowledge and tools that ease the use of economic resources as a way to produce goods and services efficiently and innovatively. Technological progress is essential to economic growth and development, and the more advanced the technology available, the more quickly the local and global economy can improve. Technology's role in economic development is further broken down below.

• Time is Money

Technology can save the time it takes to produce a good or deliver a service, contributing to the overall profits of a business.

• Efficiency

Technology can contribute to the efficiency of a business's output rate, allowing for larger quantities of products to be moved or of services to be rendered.

• Specialization

Technology has lead to an increase in the division of labor and specialization of jobs within a business, further contributing to the efficiency with which a business is able to run.

• Natural Resources

Technology has a huge effect on the ability of businesses and governments to access natural resources and use them in the most effective ways possible to benefit both the business and the economy.

• Industrial Expansion

Thanks to the increased efficiency of labor with the ever-improving state of technology, businesses are able to increase total output, which in turn leads to higher profits and greater economic development.

• Research

Better technology has lead to further research into nearly every sector of business and science, meaning businesses can benefit from all sorts of technological advancements.

• The Internet and International Trade

Information technology is the single most important element in the success and growth of international trade and job market growth, allowing businesses to share information and conduct trade in less time than the blink of an eye.

In DRC, agricultural development is critically important to improving food security and nutrition. Its roles include: increasing the quantity and diversity of food; driving economic transformation; and providing the primary source of income for many of the country’s poorest people. Numerous empirical studies over many years show that both agricultural development and economy-wide growth are needed to improve food security and nutrition, and that the former can reinforce the latter.

Agricultural development has tremendous potential to enhance food security while creating opportunities and raising income for the poor, three-quarters of whom live in rural areas.  In DRC, the agricultural sector accounts for more of GDP and 60 to 80 percent of total employment.

Food security and agriculture play a central role in the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). SDG-2 calls for ending hunger, achieving food security and improved nutrition as well as promoting sustainable agriculture until 2030.

The livelihoods of most food-insecure households in the country are still largely based on agricultural activities. Growth in the agricultural sector has a much greater effect on food security than growth in any other sector. Agriculture can thus play a key role in for accelerating overall economic growth and job creation. But agricultural development would need to respect environmental challenges. Furthermore, for the poorest people social protection schemes are an essential part of food security, especially in conflict regions of the DRC. For other households social protection can be a social safety net that enables them to invest and preserve productive capital during periods of crises, thereby increasing resilience.

Growth in the agriculture sector -- from farm to fork -- has been shown to be at least twice as effective in reducing poverty as growth in other sectors. Investing in smallholder farmers—many of whom are women—and the food systems that nourish them is more important than ever.
