Hey everyone! 👋🏾 The #TransitionCrossRoads podcast is here and some powerful episodes are already out!🔥 We’re breaking down how Africa can navigate its multidimensional energy transition, from policy to finance to grassroots innovation. #EnergyTransition #CleanEnergyAfrica

#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? In the past five years, 75% of all people in sub-Saharan #Africa who transitioned to clean cooking relied on #LiquefiedPetroleumGas #LPG — making it the dominant #cleancooking fuel across the region. Source: @IEA (2025)

#DidYouKnow? Over the past five years, #Kenya and #Nigeria have each expanded #energyaccess to #cleancooking solutions by an average of 2.7% of their populations per year — a steady but slow pace given the scale of the challenge. Source: @IEA (2025)

#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

#DidYouKnow? In Africa, #privatesector investment in #cleancooking increased by 135% b/w 2019 & 2040, increasing from USD 17 bn to USD 40 bn In 2023, there was USD 675 mn of direct investments in infrastructure, stoves, and fuel distribution hardware. Source: @IEA (2025)

#DidYouKnow? To achieve universal access to #cleancooking in #Africa🌍, an annual investment of ~USD 2 billion is required, a value less than 0.1% of #globalenergy investment. These include upfront spending on fuel distribution networks, canisters & stove Source: @IEA (2025)

#DidYouKnow? In 2024, #China accounted for 75% (USD 818 billion) of the year-on-year growth in global #energytransition investments #US investments accounted for 16.25% (USD 338 billion) while, investment from #EU and #UK dropped year-on-year. Source: @BloombergNEF (2025)

#DidYouKnow? In 2024, the sectors in #cleanenergy industry that had the highest investments are; #Electrifiedtransport (USD 757 bn), #Renewableenergy (USD 728 bn), #Powergrid (390 bn), #Energystorage (USD 54 bn) #energytransition #EnergySecurity #investment

#DidYouKnow? In 2024, global annual clean #energytransition investments surpassed USD 2 trillion, doubling total #cleanenergy transition investments in 2020 Source: @BloombergNEF (2025)

#DidYouKnow? 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! #ETPulseProject
