“Some countries are more advanced than others when it comes to understanding the product and implementing sustainability policies. Indeed, there is not a single answer to this problem. Banning single-use plastics is one thing, but the problem is not the product – it is how you deal with it at the end of the life cycle, which applies not just to plastic, but also to any high volume product.”
Federico Veller
EXECUTIVE MANAGER CHEMICALS, YPF
“The petrochemicals industry is the sector that will drive hydrocarbons consumption over the next years. Large oil companies forecast flattened fuel demand, and this is why focus is increasingly placed on the petrochemicals business. Those companies that are vertically integrated, with feedstock production all the way to the downstream business, will be the most competitive ones."

MACIG 2025 - Mining in Africa Country Investment Guide
It is said that mining is a patient industry. Current demand projections are not. Demand for minerals deemed ‘critical’ is set to increase almost fourfold by 2030, according to the UN. Demand for nickel, cobalt and lithium is predicted to double, triple and rise ten-fold, respectively, between 2022 and 2050. The world will need to mine more copper between 2018 and 2050 than it has mined throughout history. 2050 is also the deadline to curb emissions before reaching a point of ‘no return.’ The pace of mineral demand and the consequences of not meeting it force the industry to act fast and take more risks. Mining cannot afford to be a patient industry anymore. The scramble for supply drives miners back to geological credentials, and therefore to places like the African Central Copperbelt.
