#LocalNews | Critical Minerals: Africa’s key role in a sustainable energy future In a recent event held in Addis Ababa, Rebeca Grynspan, the UN Trade and Development Secretary-General, highlighted Africa’s vast deposits of critical minerals needed for the global energy transition. Minerals such as cobalt, copper, and lithium found in abundance across the continent have the potential to power a sustainable energy future, but realizing this vision will require a shift away from the extractive model that has kept resource-rich African nations dependent and impoverished.

China Investing in Africa Again, Focus on Key Energy Minerals Africa's vast mineral wealth is fueling a global race, but not for oil. This time, the prize is critical for the clean energy revolution: lithium and cobalt, the building blocks of a greener future. China's big investments raise a question: is this a win-win for Africa's growth, or a new era of resource dependence? CNAF Africa's energy future is also at stake. Can the continent use its resources for sustainable growth, or will the global scramble leave it in the dark? Will China's dominance in Africa's minerals create a win-win situation for both or lead to new forms of dependency?

AFRICA, WE MUST ACT NOW. Have a conversation with any big players on the buy-side and you will quickly realize that most of them are willing to sign long term extraction, processing contracts with mine owners, governments etc. It is however still an African mentality that we want our money now rather than later. We must realize and act quickly by taking advantage of available technologies, signing the right contracts, in order to benefit from the mineral boom

🌍 Critical Minerals Boom in Africa 🌍 The surge in demand for critical minerals such as magnesium, cobalt, lithium, and copper has placed Africa at the center of global conversations. With 30% of the world’s known critical minerals, Africa has vast potential to benefit from the ongoing technology and resource-driven revolution. However, as highlighted, one major challenge remains—Africa is still missing out on the full benefits. To truly take advantage of this boom, the continent needs substantial investment in #infrastructure and #value-addition industries like #refining and #processing. Currently, much of Africa's potential is untapped, and without the ability to process and add value to the raw materials within the continent, the primary benefits of this boom will be limited to extraction alone. 💡 But here's where I see an even bigger issue: Before Africa can fully benefit from its critical minerals, the continent needs significant upgrades in #electricitygeneration and #transmissioninfrastructure. Without stable and reliable power, industries cannot thrive, and Africa’s ability to refine and process its minerals at home will remain limited. 🚨 The time to act is NOW! 🚨 Africa must prioritize building the necessary infrastructure, ensuring access to reliable power, and fostering a value-addition ecosystem. This is the only way to ensure that the continent reaps the benefits of its mineral wealth and positions itself as a global player in the critical minerals industry. #TransformingAfrica #ElectricityInfrastructure #ValueAddition #CriticalMinerals #AfricaWeWant #InvestInAfrica
