Africa’s cement expansion could spur future energy demand

Reported · Written up by our desk · Energy Transition

Africa currently accounts for less than 5% of global energy supplies despite having about a fifth of the world’s population, OilPrice reports.

The outlet says Africa’s manufacturing output is also low, at around 2% of the global total, with many countries exporting raw minerals and agricultural products while importing costly finished goods.

OilPrice links the continent’s large-scale cement expansion to the possibility of a new energy buildout, positioning it as a potential driver of an energy boom.

The article also frames this shift within broader efforts to expand energy infrastructure and alternative power sources across Africa.
