The world is going to run on copper. If you want to understand the energy transition, start by understanding copper. Everything electrifies through copper.
Copper is going to be one of the most critical metals for the energy transition. We are positioning Rio Tinto to benefit from that long-term trend.
Climate change is not a risk for the future. It is a risk for right now, and it will reshape demand for every commodity we produce.
Copper is the metal of the energy transition. The world simply does not have enough of it to meet what electrification demands, and that gap is going to grow.
Copper is the metal of the energy transition. The world needs vastly more of it than currently exists in any pipeline.
If we don't produce the metals and minerals the world needs for the energy transition, someone else will — and probably less responsibly than we would.
For me, energy transition is a big deal. So I imagine investing into renewable, investing into waste management, investing into carbon credit.
