Decarbonizing Copper (EN) - Study (4).pdf

Copper is an ubiquitous metal, widely used for electric applications, whose production causes today 112 Mt of global CO2e emissions and whose demand is expected to rise by more than 50% by 2050, largely driven by fast expanding sectors of the energy transition, like electric mobility and grids. What is the state of the art of decarbonization options? How can the decarbonization of copper production be planned as a whole, and how can copper buyers plan to reduce their scope 3 emissions?
