How can African mineral producers participate in U.S. clean energy supply chains?

This session will focus on the opportunities for African mineral producing countries to integrate into the U.S. clean energy industries – facilitated by recent climate-related legislation including the Bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, the Inflation Reduction Act and the CHIPS and Science Act. Drawing on a recent report published by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, the session will identify the synergies between the United States’ objectives of developing new clean energy supply chains and reorienting its strategic relationship with African countries’ own long-held aspirations to industrialize and transform their economies by leveraging their mineral resources endowments. The discussion will identify recommendations for the U.S. government, African governments, the private sector and nongovernmental actors on both sides of the Atlantic on how to advance this U.S.-Africa partnership in maximizing the benefits of the mineral resources essential to the low-carbon transition.
