Smart Aussie Solar Startup Scales Up
We wrote about SunDrive way back in 2021 when it created the world’s most efficient commercial-sized solar cell using copper. But a lot’s happened since. Two years ago SunDrive’s cell achieved 25.54% efficiency, but they recently announced they’d hit 26.41% efficiency for a full-size silicon cell using their copper-based technology and large-scale production processes. SunDrive’s […]
ICA Members Commit To Net Zero By 2050
A new roadmap by the International Copper Association—ICA—members have aligned on an ambition to reach net zero in Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 2050, and work toward the same goal for Scope 3 emissions. As copper demand is set to double by 2050, the roadmap, Copper—The Pathway to Net Zero, sets out a clear […]
