As e-mobility accelerates across Europe, copper remains a strategic material for highly efficient motors, batteries, and high-voltage systems. This session shows the role of copper in e-motors with a focus on the EU’s copper supply, mainly domestic and diversified. It also explains the expected demand and the new mining efforts ongoing at global level. Regarding carbon neutrality, it presents the ICA Guidelines on Carbon Content. In order to deal with the growing demand of copper, it explains the importance of recyclability rather than recycled content.

You will get to understand:

• The copper supply chain and the industry’s commitment to producing more and better copper to meet downstream users’ demands
• How is the copper industry committed to decarbonization
• What is the role of recycling and how to improve circularity
