Dominica's Long Walk to Fossil Fuel Freedom

Alfaro-Pelico, Raul (2026) Dominica's Long Walk to Fossil Fuel Freedom. UNSPECIFIED.

Abstract

Can sustainable development solely rely on aid? Does renewable energy deployment depend only on debt? These have been decade-long questions I have asked myself during my recent research, technical assistance and investment readiness work from the School of Engineering at Lancaster University. Hoping you find some answers in this piece about Dominica's geothermal developments in the aftermath of the 2026 World Clean Energy Day. Trust it remind us of what Nelson Mandela was quoted as saying: “It always seems impossible until it’s done”, or Antonio Machado's encouragement to keep walking along.
