PANEL DISCUSSION: The role of African Critical Minerals in the Global Energy Transition

The rise of low-carbon power generation to meet climate goals also means a tripling of mineral demand from this sector by 2040. How can Africa capitalise and supply the huge demand for critical minerals to power the global energy transition. Across this session we will hear from manufacturers, technology providers and mining companies as to how the critical minerals market will play out, the impact it will have on the cost of the energy transition and the viability, cost, and availability of critical minerals to make the regional and international energy transition possible.
