Like anything to do with a cleaner world, both more storage and power lines all depend on copper (I’m pleased to say).
The International Copper Association Australia (ICAA) is part of the global Copper Alliance , and is the pre-eminent marketing arm of the Oceanic Copper industry The key objectives of the ICAA are to expand the market for copper, protect the social licence to operate and to promote the benefits of using copper in our everyday activities Through Technology Road-mapping and focused research we are able to identify the major future trends in our societies and to predict which technologies will be most likely to underpin those trends and the impact on Copper . This enables our team to focus on the most impactful programs for the promotion of copper .

An international study has uncovered new pathways to future copper deposits by cracking the code to the metal's origins that could reshape the future of copper mining.
McKinsey and Co's latest report shows the importance of copper across all industrial sectors associated with decarbonisation of our future energy supply
#CleanIndustrialDeal : which sectors are strategic for the EU? A key question during the hearing of Executive Vice-President-designate Stéphane Séjourné yesterday, and the next key battle for every industrial sector who wants to be recognised and supported. What has been mentioned? #steel #aluminium #chemistry #cleantechnologies #automotive #aeronautic #heatpumps #solar #wind #electrolysers #cables #batteries What is missing? #copper #copper #copper and other non-ferrous #metals such as #zinc and #nickel Is it too obvious? Somehow yes, copper is listed as strategic by the Critical Raw Materials Act (#CRMA) and is necessary across all #energytransition technologies, like steel and aluminium as nicely illustrated in the chart from McKinsey & Company below (based on analysis from the European Commission and the International Energy Agency (IEA)), but we must remind it constantly : COPPER IS STRATEGIC! Mr Séjourné said "without steel no wind turbines, no railways, no buildings". The same easily applies to copper. Without copper, no #windturbines, no #electricity, no #EVs, no #motors, no #heatpumps... the list is long! An EU Steel Action Plan is strongly promoted #steelplan4europe, let's remind that Ursula von der Leyen promised a "Steel and Metals Action Plan". Would measures supporting the steel sector automatically support other metals value chains, such as #copper? Is there a risk that the focus on saving the steel sector would leave non-ferrous metals aside? Please share your thoughts. My conviction: the Clean Industrial Deal must look at strategic net zero value chains from the #mines to the clean technologies. The whole copper value chain is strategic : #mining, #refining, #fabrication, #recycling. What do you think? International Copper Association Europe Eurometaux (European Metals Association)
Worldwide, the market for Copper is estimated at US$269B in 2024 and is set to record a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 5.4% during 2024-2030, reaching a projected US$368.8B by 2030.
