Copper's Role in the Transition to Clean Energy

The world is moving away from fossil fuels, towards large-scale adoption of clean energy technologies.
Building these technologies is a mineral-intensive process. Copper is one such mineral, which stands out due to its critical role in building both the technologies as well as the infrastructure that allows us to harness their power.
Copper has one of the highest thermal and electrical conductivity of all metals. As a result, it's the most widely-used mineral among energy technologies and is essential for all electricity-related infrastructure.
The above infographic highlights the role of copper in renewable energy, and how the adoption of wind and solar energy will affect its demand going forward.
