☆ AI will nearly double demand for copper, which is already facing a global shortage
  + stars: | 2024-09-16 | by ( Filip De Mott | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +3 min
The AI boom will nearly double demand for copper, mining firm BHP told the Financial Times. Copper is a necessary material for electrification, and AI data centers will require power capacity to expand. Chief Financial Officer Vandita Pant told the Financial Times that AI data centers will account for 6% to 7% of copper demand by 2050. These conditions caused copper prices to peak to a record high in May, though China's economic tumble has helped deflate prices to $9,207 a ton. Previously, the bank also considered copper prices to benefit from the expansion of AI data centers.

☆ BHP, engineering firm Hatch to design electric smelting plant in Australia

March 23 (Reuters) - BHP Group (BHP.AX) on Thursday signed an agreement with an engineering and project management firm Hatch to design an electric smelting furnace pilot plant in Australia in an attempt to slash its greenhouse gas emissions to zero by 2050. The facility will help lower carbon dioxide intensity in steel production using iron ore from the global miner's Pilbara mines. The plant will be able to produce steel from iron ore using renewable electricity and hydrogen replacing coking coal. Last October, the mining giant teamed up with steelmaker ArcelorMittal (MT.LU) and two others to test a new technology to reduce carbon emissions in steelmaking at two plants in Belgium and North America.

☆ BHP Group, ArcelorMittal trial carbon capture at Europe, US steel plants

REUTERS/Dado Ruvic/Illustration/File PhotoLONDON, Oct 27 (Reuters) - BHP Group (BHP.AX) is teaming up with steelmaker ArcelorMittal (MT.LU) and two others to test a new technology to reduce carbon emissions in steel making at two plants in Belgium and North America. By discharging over 3 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide a year, the steel industry accounts for 7-9% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. BHP's partnerships, for example, also include one with India's Tata Steel (TISC.NS), which uses biomass as a source of energy. "There isn't a silver bullet, there isn't one path or technology for low-carbon emissions in steelmaking," Pant said. "We are covering many different technologies and geographies with these partnerships ... to enable lower GHG emissions steel and support the reduction of carbon intensity in blast furnaces," Pant said.
