Sicilianews24.it: Ruto del Kenya rifiuta l’idea di esportare minerali grezzi per il futuro dell’Africa.

Il Futuro dell’Energia Verde in Africa
Mentre il mondo si sta spostando dai combustibili fossili verso fonti di energia rinnovabile, un numero crescente di investitori sta cercando opportunità in Africa per accedere ai minerali critici necessari per questa transizione. Il presidente kenyota William Ruto ha richiamato l’attenzione su un nuovo modello economico che costruisca catene di valore industriali all’interno del continente, evitando di ripetere i modelli estrattivi sfruttatori del passato.
L’importanza dei Minerali Critici
Negli ultimi anni, molti Paesi africani hanno iniziato a stringere leggi minerarie più rigorose e a trattare nuovi accordi con investitori stranieri. Tuttavia, gruppi della società civile e ricercatori avvertono che l’attuale corsa ai minerali critici potrebbe riprodurre modelli estrattivi che storicamente hanno alimentato la distruzione ambientale, lo sfollamento e l’ineguaglianza, offrendo pochi benefici economici agli africani. Secondo la Strategia Africana dei Minerali Verdi, l’Africa detiene oltre il 30% dei minerali critici a livello globale, inclusi cobalto, litio, manganese ed elementi delle terre rare, essenziali per la produzione di batterie e pannelli solari.

The Kenyan president Ruto rejects the idea of exporting raw minerals for Africa’s future.

The Future of Green Energy in Africa

As the world shifts from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources, an increasing number of investors are seeking opportunities in Africa to access the critical minerals needed for this transition. Kenyan President William Ruto has drawn attention to a new economic model that builds industrial value chains within the continent, avoiding repeating the exploitative extractive models of the past.

The Importance of Critical Minerals

In recent years, many African countries have begun to enact stricter mining laws and negotiate new agreements with foreign investors. However, civil society groups and researchers warn that the current rush for critical minerals could reproduce extractive models that historically have fueled environmental destruction, displacement, and inequality, offering few economic benefits to Africans. According to the African Green Minerals Strategy, Africa holds over 30% of global critical minerals, including cobalt, lithium, manganese, and rare earth elements, essential for battery and solar panel production.
