Copper's Structural Deficit: Why the 'New Oil' May Constrain the Energy Transition.
This report investigates the role of copper as a critical component in the global shift towards electrification and clean energy. Dubbed the 'new oil,' copper is essential for renewable energy systems and digital infrastructure, but its supply faces significant challenges. Long project timelines, declining ore grades, and geographic concentration contribute to a structural deficit. The report emphasizes the need for strategic investments and policy measures to ensure copper's availability aligns with global decarbonization goals.
