Primary Copper Demand and Supply Consideration
The shift toward renewable technologies and decarbonisation marks a new era in energy generation, transmission, and use, which requires substantial quantities of raw minerals, including copper. Copper plays a foundational role in modern society, supporting both historical development and contemporary industrial life. Its end-use applications, collectively, provide more useful properties than arguably any other metal. Copper’s crucial role now extends into the future as a critical component for various applications and infrastructure that will facilitate the clean energy transition and enhance the supply chain potential for a range of new energy solutions.
