No energy transition without copper

Copper is not only essential for the energy transition. Artificial intelligence and the defense sector also consume copper.

(PresseBox) (Herisau, )
Wind turbines and solar systems need copper, as do electric vehicles. The reddish metal is just as important in telecommunications, mechanical engineering, pipeline construction and electrical engineering. In the future, there will probably also be technologies that we don't know about today. In renewable energies, copper is used for production, transportation and storage. An electric car contains up to 70 kilograms of the metal. That is around three times as much as a conventional car. Solar and wind power plants consume around six times as much copper as conventional power plants. Copper is also often used in heat pumps, as well as in the geothermal sector and in hydroelectric power plants.

Many analysts and investment banks expect copper consumption to rise, which will lead to a deficit. This is because the artificial intelligence and defense sectors also need the reddish metal. Copper should therefore benefit from technological progress in the long term. On the supply side, a lengthy and cost-intensive process for starting up new copper mines and tightening environmental regulations will lead to an expected copper deficit on the market. The new green super cycle and the construction cycle in China, which is coming to an end, are therefore facing each other. Those who are skeptical about an overall increase in copper demand like to point to the Chinese construction market, which is known to be in crisis and is causing less demand for copper. Anyone who is of the opinion that the copper market will ultimately break out to the upside and not to the downside - as already mentioned, there is a lot to be said for this - should take a look at companies with copper in their projects.

For example, there is Mogotes Metals - https://www.commodity-tv.com/play/mogotes-metals-exploring-multiple-targets-for-copper-next-to-filo-corp-and-ngex-minerals/ - with its Filo Sur project (copper, gold, silver). It borders on the border between Chile and Argentina.

In Brazil, Meridian Mining - https://www.commodity-tv.com/play/meridian-mining-great-upside-potential-in-the-projects-and-share-price/ - has the Cabaçal (copper, gold, silver) and Santa Helena (copper, gold, silver and zinc) mines. Drilling is underway on both projects.
