For millennia, copper has accompanied humanity. From the Bronze Age to the Industrial Era, it has always been at the heart of our technological progress. But today, more than ever, this metal is becoming essential to the global energy transition.
A Historic Metal Serving the Future
Used in currency, architecture, craftsmanship, and later electricity, copper has spanned the centuries without ever losing its value. Its exceptional conductivity makes it the material of choice for energy transmission and the manufacturing of electrical components.
With the rise of renewable energy and green mobility, demand is soaring:
- An onshore wind turbine contains up to 5 tons of copper.
- An electric vehicle requires 3 to 4 times more copper than a conventional vehicle.
- Charging infrastructure and smart grids rely almost entirely on this metal.
Copper, Pillar of the Energy Transition
As the world moves toward carbon neutrality, copper is becoming the backbone of this transformation. Without it, there would be no smart grids, no efficient energy storage, and no successful transition.
Experts estimate that global copper demand could double by 2035, creating an urgent need for new sources of supply, as well as more responsible mining practices.
Coppernicus Mining’s Commitment
At Coppernicus Mining, we believe the future of energy relies on copper that is responsibly extracted and sustainably managed. Our projects, such as Agadir Melloul, are guided by a clear vision:
- Meeting the world’s growing demand.
- Minimizing environmental impact through innovation.
- Creating a positive legacy for local communities.
By mining copper responsibly, we help write a new chapter: that of an ancient metal that remains the key to humanity’s energy and technological future.
