Senegal Launches Strategic Study on Critical Minerals
Senegal Launches Strategic Study on Critical Minerals
The effort, unveiled in Dakar on Monday, reportedly aims to:
🟠Document the country's geological potential;
🟠Anticipate the challenges of resource extraction in a world undergoing energy transition;
🟠Integrate the resources into Senegal's broader energy strategy;
🟠Shift from mere exportation to local processing.
Beyond its well-known mineral deposits, Senegal holds significant untapped reserves of critical minerals. Lithium, cobalt, nickel, copper, and manganese, vital for batteries, wind turbines, and solar panels, present new opportunities for the country.
The launch of these studies is organized by the Publish What You Pay coalition, in partnership with the African Climate Foundation.
