AER ("Agence des Energies Renouvelables") is the national agency in charge of renewables.

ANADEB, National Agency for the Development of Biofuels, coordinates the policies and actions for the promotion of biofuels.

The National Action Plan for Renewable Energies PANER (2015-2030) aims to raise the share of grid-connected renewables in the installed capacity to 58% by 2030, with 1416 MW of renewables (including medium and large hydropower and 528 MW of solar).

CO₂ Fuel Combustion/CO₂ Emissions

In its updated NDC (2021), Mali set a target to reduce its GHG emissions by 31% in 2030 compared to a BAU scenario (-25% for agriculture, -31% for energy, and -39% for LULUCF).

Since 2005, energy-related CO₂ emissions have more than tripled, reaching almost 6 Mt in 2020.
