Africa is at a pivotal moment in its energy journey. Although contributing less than 5% of global greenhouse gas emissions, it is projected to account for 11% of CO2 emissions by 2050, driven by rapid urbanisation, industrialisation and growing populations. Africa must balance rising energy demands, closing energy poverty and decarbonising, despite its vast fossil fuel and critical mineral reserves essential to the global transition.
