A 2021 report which assesses fossil fuel industry plans to sink USD $230 billion into the development of new extraction projects in Africa in the next decade — and USD $1.4 trillion by 2050.

The report also contains country-level analysis for the top 16 projected oil, gas, and coal producers in Africa for 2020-2050.
