Going a step further, ensuring availability and stable supply of copper, it will also be possible to encourage and incentivize development of industries that produce final goods such as electric vehicles, solar panels, etc, in addition to other industries that utilize copper heavily. Effectively, the transition and adoption of solar and wind power, as well as electric vehicles is going to drive demand for copper as the world decarbonizes. Copper with its unique properties of being ductile, as well as electrical and thermal conductivity, is uniquely placed to be used heavily in electric vehicles, as well as in solar and wind power generation equipment.
