Australian Securities Exchange (ASX)-listed graphite miner and processor Syrah Resources has signed two new offtake agreements with American active anode material (AAM) processors for offtake from its Balama mine in Cabo Delgado province. Balama is the world’s largest facility outside China producing natural graphite, which is far less emitting than its synthesised counterpart. Major new demand from US-based buyers would mark a sea change in its marketing, as in 2022 China made up 64% of Syrah’s sales by revenue.

The future of electric power generation in South Africa is no longer in the hands of state-owned utility Eskom. Although it controls more than 80% of installed capacity, including 45GW of coal-fired generation, changes in the electricity supply industry are now being driven by the installation of many gigawatts-worth of captive solar photovoltaic (PV) generation, following the removal of licence restrictions.

A solar PV and battery energy storage plant has been commissioned at Danzi, 18km north-west of the capital Bangui, according to the World Bank Group. The plant is a significant addition to CAR’s under-developed grid, which had a total of 49.65MW online prior to Danzi’s commissioning, according to African Energy Live Data. During the Danzi commissioning ceremony, President Faustin Archange Touadera lamented “the lack of investment over the past 40 years” in CAR’s electricity industry. The lack of interest among private and foreign investors is not surprising, given CAR’s long-running civil war and poor governance.
