The Vital Role of Copper
Copper stands as a linchpin in meeting clean energy objectives, fortifying supply chains, and enhancing national security. Its significance transcends clean energy goals, integrating into everyday society within virtually every modern electronic device, including the one in your hands. From plumbing, ensuring toxin-free clean water, to wiring, facilitating comfortable indoor climates, copper plays an indispensable role.
Bipartisan Infrastructure and Copper
The Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal puts copper in the limelight, envisioning:
• 250,000 electric vehicle charging stations, necessitating around 10 million pounds of copper
• $2.5 billion for low-emission vehicles, requiring about 6 million pounds of copper
• $2.5 billion for electric school buses, translating to roughly 3 million pounds of copper
• $15 billion allocated for lead service line replacement, estimating a demand of 53-93 million pounds of copper
Copper’s Impact Beyond Industry
Beyond industry, copper’s antimicrobial properties actively safeguard lives and budgets by eradicating harmful bacteria. Its surfaces substantially reduce germ transmission and infection rates, aiding hospitals globally in combatting infections.
Surging Demand for Copper
The demand for copper is surging, driven by wind, solar, electric vehicles, and battery applications. Estimates suggest a staggering surge between 600% to 900% by 2030.
