Wireless charging is about to be big & requires about 4 kg of copper per passenger car. Electric car charge stations are not widely distributed or available, and all require the driver to connect a cable to the car. But electrical power, unlike liquid fuels, doesn’t require a physical connection to the car, opening up […]
Electric Mining
Companies are adding electric vehicles underground to cut carbon emissions, boost productivity & cut costs. Upgrading to all electric mine fleets-both above & underground-is increasingly operationally viable and comes with some big advantages. Despite a high upfront spend, electric mobility can quickly provide a return on investment. Operating expenses and service needs are less for […]
World’s Wind Turbines Drive Copper
A new report says the global wind turbine fleet to consume over 5.5Mt of copper by 2028. Over 650 GW of new onshore and 130 GW of new offshore wind capacity will be installed by 2028 says Wood Mackenzie. And that will use over 5.5Mt of copper. “Wind technology is the most copper-intensive form of […]

Copper Hope For Lou Gehrig’s Disease
A new copper compound by U.S. researchers has shown promise in slowing the disease in mice. Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS)-or Lou Gehrig’s disease-is caused by the deterioration and death of motor neurons in the spinal cord. It is progressive, debilitating and fatal. U.S. scientists have developed an approach to treating ALS that’s based on using […]
2019 International Copper Industry Summit
The recently completed Summit in Shanghai with over 300 attendees and 45 speakers represented over 80% of the copper end-use market. The 2019 International Copper Industry Summit (ICIS), co-organized by International Copper Association (ICA) and Jiangxi Copper Corporation and under the guidance of China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT), just took place in […]
Cool Copper
The Australian copper industry has developed a new range of tubes to handle large scale refrigeration. The addition of transcritical CO2 refrigerant systems for large scale refrigeration applications, initially for freezers in retail food outlets, requires tubes of higher strength than previously available in the market. The previous range of tubes catered for pressure ratings […]
Can Copper Corrode?
Generally no-even after centuries under soil-but there are some underground situations where it can, including: abnormally aggressive soils localized and long-line-type concentration cells created by differences in soil composition the action of stray direct currents (DC) flowing in the ground faulty design and workmanship certain conditions created by alternating currents (AC) thermogaivanic effects galvanic action […]
A Plumbing Champion
Shelly Decker is helping to revitalise what she sees as a lack of skills amongst plumbing apprentices in her role as both a TAFE teacher and Victorian Building Authority registration examiner. Four years ago, she began organising inter TAFE plumbing competitions in Victoria to assist motivating & mentoring candidates for the international World Skills challenge. […]
Bone Disease Gets Copper Breakthrough
Irish researchers have developed a treatment for osteomyelitis that combines copper particles into an implant for bone repair. The new treatment has developed a one-step solution that kills bacteria and promotes bone growth without using antibiotics. It was achieved by combining copper particles with bioactive glass, a type of glass used for bone repair, that […]
