| Popis: | The energy transition is a necessary process to contain global warming. Some essential elements for its achievement are financing from more developed countries and collaboration between countries, especially with technology transfer. This article aims to understand China’s role in the African energy transition process. To do this, we start with a qualitative analysis of what is systematized by the African Union (AU) and international energy agencies (International Renewable Energy Agency – IRENA and International Energy Agency – IEA) to provide an overview of the energy transition processes on the African continent. Next, Chinese investments in the energy sector on the African continent are presented, paying special attention to projects carried out between 2015 and 2022, in order to verify whether these investments are in line with debates held in international arenas. |
