Clean Technologies and Their Role in Promoting Sustainable Industrial Development in Algeria

Abstract

Algeria faces numerous challenges and issues related to greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to climate change, primarily due to the reliance on fossil fuels and the pressing need to modernize its industrial sector in a more sustainable and environmentally friendly manner. The Algerian state fully recognizes the importance of integrating advanced technologies and innovative clean approaches, such as shifting towards the use of renewable energy as a viable and eco-friendly alternative to depletable sources. This strategic shift has become a necessity to safeguard the rights of future generations—both in terms of ensuring access to diverse energy sources and preserving a livable, less-polluted environment. In this context, the Algerian government has introduced new measures aimed at improving energy efficiency and promoting innovative industrial practices within its national development strategy. These efforts are intended to achieve sustainable growth while aligning with global environmental objectives.
