The replacement of fossil fuels by electrification is the greatest energy transition in history But its not just EVs $400bn Its also offshore wind turbines, all forms of transport, domestic appliances, military EV boom underway


  1. The replacement of fossil fuels by electrification is the greatest energy transition in history But it’s not just EVs $400bn It‘s also offshore wind turbines, all forms of transport, domestic appliances, military EV boom underway equipment and a growing universe of clean energy applications.

  17. Designed to the highest ESG standards The investment has been designed to meet the Equator Principles and Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions under the Green House Gas protocol. Access to low carbon power from the Luaca hydro-electric dam and local PV and storage facilities will enable a very low carbon footprint. Closed circuit zero discharge for process water and tailings with full end of life rehabilitation. Consultations underway for a positive impact on the local community by providing training for over 260 direct jobs and preparing local businesses to become service providers. A particular focus is on the training of young women for technical and engineering roles.
