AFD Group and Energy Transition Minerals

The energy transition relies on the deployment of low-carbon technologies (electric vehicles,renewable energies) that require substantial amounts of metals and minerals, including lithium, nickel, cobalt and copper. Increasing mining and processing capacity for these minerals is therefore essential to the achievement of carbon neutrality. Securing critical minerals supply is also a strategic issue.
AFD Group’s response is to resume operations in the sector. Its aim is to support the energy transition and a more responsible mining sector, in line with its SDG mandate and French and European strategies.
