Amazing three days at eemods'24 with 119 participants, 70 presentations and countless exchanges of new ideas. Fernando Nuño and Bruno De Wachter unveiled an unprecedented analysis showing that higher efficiency motors not only save energy, but also save raw materials. This enables meeting both energy saving targets and circular economy requirements. The audience appreciated such a global, system perspective, which is often overlooked when analysing the impact of minimum energy performance standards (MEPS). Despite an increasingly decarbonised electricity mix, energy savings are still heavily required in Europe and worldwide. Pushing further energy performance of motors reduces the net demand for raw materials (steel, aluminium, #copper, concrete…). #electricmotors #energysavings #MEPS Rita Werle Andrea Vezzini Adrian Omlin Conrad U.

International Copper Association Europe
International Affairs
We are the industry experts and your source for all information on copper in the EU.
About us
Based in Brussels, the International Copper Association (ICA) Europe is the leading advocate for the copper industry in Europe. With 32 members globally, ICA represents more than half of the world’s copper production and most of the EU’s production. As ICA’s European branch, the organization represents companies that mine, smelt and recycle copper for use across the economy, in the electricity system, buildings, transport and industry. Through a team of policy, industry and scientific experts, ICA Europe promotes copper as an essential material for achieving the EU’s ambition of a resilient, climate neutral Europe, and seeks to ensure that EU policies enable the sustainable production of copper to serve Europe’s future needs. ICA Europe also serves as the secretariat of the REACH Copper Consortium, which provides a coordinated answer to EU requirements on chemicals registration, evaluation and authorization.

Today Aurubis celebrated the go-live of the Advanced Sludge Processing by Aurubis (ASPA) at Aurubis Beerse (Belgium). ⚗️ The ASPA facility will process anode sludge, a valuable intermediate product from electrolytic copper refining, produced at the Aurubis recycling sites in Beerse and Aurubis Lünen (Germany). ♻️ The new process delivers two major benefits: the faster extraction of more precious metals as well as the full recovery of tin from the anode sludge. 💬 “Fully developed in-house, this new and fully in-house developed state-of-the-art hydrometallurgical process, ASPA, is another prime example of Aurubis’ innovative strength. We are pioneering in sustainable multimetal production and are now taking recycling to the next level,” COO Multimetal Recyling Inge Hofkens stated. Find out more about the project in our video. 👇 #Aurubis #MetalsforProgress #TomorrowMetals #Recycling #Innovation #Sustainability #CircularEconomy

International Copper Association Europe reposted this
I recently connected with Euro Sun Mining. Euro Sun Mining is developing a gold and #copper mine project in Romania that has the potential to contribute to the EU's resilience in strategic raw materials value chains. Copper is THE strategic material of the #energytransition. The industry must develop more copper mining, refining and recycling capacity in Europe and abroad. Euro Sun Mining is keen to contribute. I'm looking forward to the success of their project! ICA is working with its members and policymakers to create the right conditions for such investments. Find here our EU policy priorities 2024-2029 and examples of other mining, refining and recycling projects of our members : https://lnkd.in/eJitutXY
Great to connect with the International Copper Association (ICA)! The ICA is a leading organisation dedicated to promoting the sustainable development of the global copper industry. Their work focuses on advocacy, research, and highlighting copper's essential role in modern technologies—especially in renewable energy, energy efficiency, and recycling. 🤝 With an introductory meeting concluded, ESM looks forward to engaging with the ICA in the future to possibly collaborate with government, industries, and environmental groups to advance policies and practices that contribute to a sustainable future. https://lnkd.in/eDtw3-KJ #Sustainability #Copper #RenewableEnergy #EnergyEfficiency #Recycling #SustainableFuture #LowCarbonEconomy
