Three Major Low-carbon Sectors to Promote China’s Copper Demand

SHANGHAI, Dec.4 (SMM)－Expert says three major low-carbon sectors including renewable energy, electric cars and energy efficiency will become importance impetus to promote China’s copper demand in the future. Particularly speaking, electric cars will be the sector of fastest growth of copper demand in the future. Copper application includes copper foil in battery thermal management system, copper rotor motor of driving system and copper pipe of heat pump air-conditioning system, which make electric cars run more stably, enduringly and energy-efficiently. According to research of International Copper Association, replacement of coal-fired boiler with air source heat pump will greatly reduce air pollution in Chinese cities and stimulate copper demand increase.
