‘Africa must join renewable technology value chain’

ENERGY ministry secretary Gloria Magombo said on Tuesday that African nations, including Zimbabwe, should participate in the value chain for renewable energy technology to support the expansion of their economies.

Renewable energy technologies include biofuels, solar, wind and hydro.

Currently, African nations are the end customers of the renewable energy technology products, despite the fact that practically all of the minerals utilised in the creation of these sustainable technologies are found in Africa.
