Metals enable the energy transition through their use in low-carbon technologies. Rising demand means metal production needs to grow while simultaneously reducing absolute emissions if the Paris Agreement goals are to be met. Carbon taxes are a blunt stick to achieve these goals that would radically shift the economics of production, with reverberations far and wide. Each metal would have a different pain point – copper at the mine site, steel at the mill or aluminium in power prices – but each would be afflicted.
In this webinar, we look at the remedies for the miners on the path to carbon neutrality where we will cover:
- Comparison of the pathway to carbon neutrality for different metals value chains
- Discussion of the drivers and implications of adopting low-carbon technologies
- How the diversified miners compare in both their emissions and their strategies to reduce them
Join Julian Kettle, Vice Chairman, Metals & Mining and James Whiteside, Head of Multi-Commodity Research as they present our latest thinking.
