Abstract | In the Republic of Guinea, mining activities traditionally rely on fossil fuels as a primary energy source. With new technologies and policies, however, alternative infrastructures are becoming necessary to address the environmental challenges of traditional energy degradation and energy efficiency and meet the energy demands of mining activities. In addition, managing water resources in urban areas is critical as water scarcity is a significant challenge. This study explores the difficulties and possible solutions for managing energy and water infrastructures in both urban and rural mining areas within the energy transition framework. The research shows that the main challenges include insufficient infrastructure, inefficient energy and water access, poor water quality, low investment capital and expertise, and inadequate environmental conservation. Recommendations include increasing infrastructure investment, capacity -building with innovative technologies, and promoting socially responsible mining practices to ensure sustainable mining practices. |
