New Report Highlights Need for "All-of-the-Above" Strategy to Meet U.S. Copper Demand Amidst Clean Energy Transition
As global demand for copper—the “metal of electrification”—continues to rise, the U.S. must confront long development times for domestic mines, the need for expanded refining and recycling efforts, and its reliance on imports. A new report, commissioned by CDA and conducted by S&P Global Market Intelligence, explores the unique opportunities, and challenges the United States faces in sourcing copper, a critical mineral for the energy transition.
Copper Age 2.0
Thousands of years ago, the Copper Age transformed our world. Sharper tools, sturdier weapons, and a more complex society emerged. But that was just the beginning...
Welcome to Copper Age 2.0! Today, humanity faces a new frontier. Climate change, a desperate need for sustainability, and global competition for resources defines our era. Copper holds the key. From clean energy solutions to innovative technologies, Copper Age 2.0 promises to revolutionize our world once again.
Architects and Contractors Win Awards for Copper in Architecture
Ten projects across the United States and Canada receive 2024 North American Copper in Architecture (NACIA) awards. The NACIA awards, launched in 2008, celebrate design excellence, recognize quality craftsmanship, and highlight diverse uses of copper in architectural applications. Over the years, winning projects have illustrated the wide appeal of copper and showcased extraordinary craftsmanship from contractors and installers across the U.S. and Canada.
Copper is Critical
America’s future depends on copper, and it meets every component of the U.S. Geological Survey’s definition of a Critical Mineral. Updated data shows copper should be added to the U.S. Critical Mineral List immediately.
CDA Applauds DOE for Copper’s Inclusion on Critical Materials List
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) officially added copper to its Critical Materials list. This act marks the first time a U.S. government agency has included copper on one of its official “critical” lists, following the example of other countries including the European Union, Japan, India, Canada, and China.
