Event Details

The International Copper Association (ICA) and the European Copper Institute (ECI) invite you to join the conversation on the copper industry’s pathway to net zero.

Copper is a strategic raw material for the clean energy transition and global copper demand is expected to double by 2050, given its widespread use in decarbonization technologies. It is, therefore, important to ensure the availability of low-carbon, sustainable copper to meet this need.

The International Copper Association and the European Copper Institute invite policymakers and interested stakeholders to join the launch of their global decarbonization roadmap, Copper – The Pathway to Net Zero, to discuss the challenges and opportunities of decarbonizing copper production.

Some of the questions the event will address include:

  • How fast can copper production be decarbonized globally and in the EU?
  • What are the main technologies for doing so?
  • What challenges remain on the road to net zero and how can these be overcome?
  • How can the EU’s regulatory framework support this transition?
