Montenegro

Critical minerals, policy, and the energy transition

The Energy Transition in Montenegro

Montenegro is gradually advancing its energy transition, with a focus on enhancing its energy security and sustainability. The country relies heavily on coal and hydropower for its energy needs but is increasingly investing in renewable energy sources to diversify its energy mix. Montenegro’s rich reserves of bauxite, along with its aluminium production capabilities, play a crucial role in its critical minerals sector. Additionally, the country produces important minerals such as iron, zinc, and lead, which support various industrial activities. As part of its commitment to sustainable development, Montenegro is aligning its policies with international ESG standards. The country is also working to improve regional energy connectivity and infrastructure, supporting its role in the broader Southeast European energy and minerals landscape. With its membership in organisations like the United Nations, NATO, and OSCE, Montenegro is focused on regional cooperation and adherence to global sustainability goals. Through its continued efforts in energy diversification and mineral resource development, Montenegro aims to strengthen its position in Southeast Europe’s evolving energy and mineral sectors.
