A Sustainable Africa Scenario (SAS) included in this report foresees that “all of Africa’s energy‐related development goals are achieved, including universal access to modern energy services by 2030.” However, in the areas of environment, a research-based method of mitigating environmental toxicity of oil and its effects on aquatic ecosystems, soil, and plant life, especially in Rivers and Delta states of Nigeria have remain very limited for decades. The impact of human activities, including the exploitation by primary legal and illegal producers and government ineptness related to oil exploration contribute to disruptions in marine environments, poor soil ecosystems, resulting in poor farm yields and overall environmental pollution. Such environmental pollutions related to oil exploration for energy has profound negative ecological and human health effects In these contexts, the primary goals of GIRT-CEE are to provide evidence-based research support and comprehensive data and analysis to inform policy makers in Africa in decisions related to energy and environment, support research for the enhancement of the reliability, affordability, access, and sustainability of clean energy for all, and address areas of research recommended in IEA SAS 2030, including:

• Development of accelerated scale-up models for cheaper and cleaner sources of energy. 
• Develop effective strategies to inform policies and reinforcement of global commitment for increase of support from international community
• Develop strategies that improve efficiency in energy distribution and use
• Develop modern and efficient technologies for all sectors to expand their use of the technologies to boost productivity and reach urban markets.
• Research in energy materials and alternative renewables energy for efficient power generation and integration to other sources 
• Develop models for the mitigation of cumulative energy-related CO2 emissions and CO2 emissions from using gas from Africa’s discovered, not yet approved fields
• Developing well-functioning infrastructure within Africa, such as storage and distribution infrastructure, to meet domestic demand and transportation
• Research and conversion of Africa’s vast resources of minerals to create new clean energy technologies and high-powered batteries and hydrogen technologies.
• All Other Related Needs And Emerging Human Needs
