Driving sustainable investment in African Mining

Mining for energy – can Africa seize the green moment?


•    How can Africa take advantage of the energy transition to enhance mining and the green mineral value-chains?
•    With a lack of sufficient investment into energy infrastructure, particularly in South Africa, where has this left the industry?
•    How can energy insecurity for miners affect Africa’s potential yearly green minerals output, as well as its future mineral exploitation capabilities?
•    Are renewable energy projects, as well as wheeled power projects a realistic alternative for mining and processing operations?
•    What are the benefits of ensuring energy security for the mining industry, and what are those benefits for the wider community?
