#DidYouKnow?
For 67% of people in sub-Saharan #Africa, adopting #cleancooking solutions would require spending at least 10% of their income — a significant financial burden for many households.
This #highcost remains a major barrier to achieving widespread clean cooking access

#DidYouKnow?
By 2040, #Africa’s share of the #globalmineral #refining #market is expected to be just 4%, despite the continent being rich in energy minerals.
Although Africa mines a significant portion of the world’s #minerals, it captures very little value from refining them.

#DidYouKnow?
In 2024, #Africa’s #energy minerals were worth about USD 50 billion at the #mining stage, but only USD 16 billion at the refining stage.
This means Africa captures just 32% of the value from #refining compared to what it earns from simply mining the minerals

In 2023, bank financing for #CleanEnergy surged, reaching 89% of what #fossilfuels received.
For every $1 invested in oil, gas, and coal, $0.89 flowed into #renewables, grids, and low-carbon tech—bringing the #energytransition closer than ever!
