Title: Sub-Saharan Africa: Key Player in the New Energy Transition Sub-Saharan Africa, situated in the southern part of the African continent, boasts abundant mineral resources, including many crucial minerals required for the new energy transition. With approximately 30% of the world's lithium, cobalt, copper, and other key minerals, the region is poised to play a pivotal role in the shift towards renewable energy and clean technologies. As global demand for renewable energy and electric vehicles continues to rise, the mineral resources of Sub-Saharan Africa will become increasingly vital. Minerals such as lithium, cobalt, and copper are essential for manufacturing batteries and other energy storage technologies, and their scarcity poses a challenge to the new energy transition. However, Sub-Saharan Africa faces challenges beyond resource development in achieving the new energy transition. Infrastructure development, policy formulation, and technological innovation are among the hurdles that must be overcome. Moreover, ensuring the sustainability of resource development and protecting the local environment and community interests are paramount. Despite these challenges, Sub-Saharan Africa holds immense potential for development. Through enhanced international cooperation, effective policy measures, and a focus on environmental and social sustainability, the region can emerge as a significant driver of the new energy transition. **Keywords:** Sub-Saharan Africa, new energy transition, mineral resources, lithium, cobalt, copper, sustainable development, environmental protection, social sustainability, international cooperation, policy measures, technological innovation, electric vehicles, energy storage, renewable energy. #SubSaharanAfrica #newenergy #mineralresources #sustainabledevelopment #environmentalprotection #internationalcooperation #electricvehicles #energystorage #renewableenergy
