Freight Rail in Africa: Driving Mining Growth and the JET

Freight rail is key to the future of Africa’s mining sector, providing efficient transportation for minerals.

Reviving freight rail in Africa presents a significant opportunity to achieve substantial ESG gains, particularly within the mining sector.

These initiatives also align with the JET, addressing both environmental sustainability and social equity, supporting greener mining logistics.

The Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) being introduced by the EU adds another layer of urgency and importance to the revival of freight rail in Africa.
