Developing clean industry across the region

MPP is forging new connections across Sub-Saharan Africa to mobilise business, finance, government and civil society leaders to speed up the shift to clean materials, chemicals and fuels.

Sub-Saharan Africa with its abundance of solar energy and natural resources is emerging as a potential industrial centre and part of the new industrial sunbelt. The pipeline includes ~40 clean industrial projects across the region. Unlocking the pipeline of announced projects would boost economic growth, create jobs and strengthen energy and food security.

China and a growing group of renewables-rich emerging economies are attracting an increasing share of investment in clean industry, according to the latest findings from Mission Possible Partnership’s Global Project Tracker, supported by the Industrial Transition Accelerator (ITA). Clean industry, powered by renewable energy, is redrawing the world’s industrial map as projects move from the drawing board to construction.

China is one of a number of countries across the East Asian region where the steel sector is facing a pivotal moment, this is the second in a series of reports where we examine the opportunities for countries to reinforce the foundations of their industrial strength.
