Emma Champion is Head of Regional Energy Transitions at BloombergNEF, leading analysis of long-term decarbonization scenarios for energy in Europe and Africa. Her research focus areas include clean energy policy and investment, power markets, electrification, and industrial decarbonization
The transition to electric vehicles is a $7 trillion opportunity for both companies and countries. Building the batteries to power these vehicles will drive demand for metals such as cobalt, copper, nickel and lithium. Countries such as South Africa, Morocco, Ghana and Tanzania are host to the metals needed to manufacture these batteries. This technical session, run by BNEF, will delve into how African countries can harness this $7 trillion opportunity with key focus on capital raising, sustainability, community engagement, value addition and skills development.
