Will Africa reshape the battery industry in 2022?
In a 2022 analysis, McKinsey Battery Insights projected that “the entire lithium-ion battery chain, from mining through recycling, could grow by over 30% annually from 2022 to 2030, when it would reach a value of more than $400 billion”. Africa’s future role in this arena could reshape its economies and lift millions out of poverty.
Can Africa leapfrog into a sustainable industrialized future?
Theoretically, the foundations are in place for Africa to leapfrog into a sustainable industrialized future that provides more and better jobs. Yet the continent still exports vast quantities of raw materials while importing finished goods at a premium. That paradox must be reversed.
How can African nations build a sustainable economy?
By prioritizing renewable energy, sustainable mining practices and energy-efficient technologies, African nations can build industries that are cleaner, more competitive and socially inclusive. Investments should focus on marginalized communities, women, youth and rural areas, ensuring equitable access to jobs and opportunities.
What is the largest mini-grid system in Sub-Saharan Africa?
One standout initiative is the metro-grid model developed by Nuru. With the support of the International Finance Corporation, the project aims to provide electricity to 5 million people, making it the largest mini-grid system in Sub-Saharan Africa.
Why is Africa a stumbling block?
Africa’s infrastructure deficit — power grids, reliable transport networks and ports —remains a stumbling block. Without reliable electricity, industrialization sputters. Nearly half of the continent’s population lacks access to electricity, and those who do have the access often contend with outages.
