No day-to-day life without copper

Copper has accompanied humanity throughout history and laid the foundations for development within technology, culture and the economy. The metal has a lot of positive qualities, which make it suitable for a wide spectrum of applications which we use in our everyday lives. With the climate-related challenges that we face today, copper is more important than ever. Not least in the transition to renewable energy.

Building materials

Copper is used as a building material in a range of areas, for example in water pipes, heating, gas, and in sprinkler systems. The metal combats bacteria as well as certain organisms and guarantees good water quality. Copper is clean and hygienic, tolerates heat and cold, gas, fuel, and corrosive environments. Copper plate has long…

Electricity and electronics

Copper has good conductivity for electricity and heat, which means that in many ways this metal connects our world. The conductivity makes copper ideal for electrical wiring. It’s also a metal that can withstand high voltages and has a high melting point that allows it to withstand overload. Copper is also easy to process, bend,…

Renewable energy

Copper plays a key role in the transition to solar, wind and hydro power because these energy sources need large amounts of copper to generate and transmit energy. In the switch to a more electrified society, bigger investments will be needed for the expansion of energy production and the energy network. Modern and responsible copper…

Transport & infrastructure

We use copper in cars and it is essentially a cornerstone of the electric car revolution, not least since the construction of an electric car needs three times as much copper as a petrol car. There is also a huge need for copper for charging stations and infrastructure for electricity transfer. Before the railways were…
