Copper consumption in wind technologies
*Please note that this report only includes an Excel data file if this is indicated in "What's included" below
Wind technology is the most copper-intensive form of power generation and is anticipated to consume the largest amount of copper over the next ten years in this sector.
Henry Salisbury, Wood Mackenzie Research Analyst, quoted in Mining Review Africa
What’s inside this report?
We analyse how the global increase in wind energy has affected copper demand.
We also investigate the variables which dictate the intensity of copper in projects and the potential risks to our consumption forecasts.
What key questions does this report answer?
- What will the increase in wind technology mean for copper demand forecasts?
- Where is copper consumed within wind technology and how much copper is required?
- How will copper consumption in wind technologies differ regionally?
- Could higher copper prices drive manufacturers to substitute copper for cheaper alternative materials?
