Togo
Critical minerals, policy, and the energy transition
The Energy Transition in Togo
Togo is progressing toward a more sustainable energy future by diversifying its energy mix and focusing on critical mineral resources. While the country has traditionally relied on petroleum and natural gas, it is increasingly investing in hydropower as part of its transition to renewable energy. Togo’s phosphate resources play a crucial role in the global fertiliser market, and the country is also exploring lithium, which has significant potential for the electric vehicle and battery storage industries. Togo’s commitment to ESG principles ensures that both its energy and mining sectors contribute to long-term, sustainable development. As Togo strengthens its position in West Africa’s mineral markets, it is becoming a key player in the region’s clean energy transformation and industrial growth. Togo’s mining sector is vital to its energy transition. The country’s phosphate, iron, and gold resources are central to its economic development while emerging lithium deposits offer promising opportunities for the clean energy sector. Togo is also enhancing its renewable energy capacity, particularly hydropower, to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and promote sustainability. By prioritising responsible mining practices and ESG frameworks, Togo is positioning itself as a leader in both regional and global mineral markets.
