Interesting point at last week's webinar of the UsersTCP Academy how the licence to operate concept originated in the mining industry, but is since being introduced in other sectors such as energy, agriculture, infrastructure and tourism.

A glimpse into what's inside an elevator sign. The lifetime of these electronics is probably around 10 years, using 40 minerals. About 10% copper. #circularity

A European wide #supergrid could cut almost a third from #energy costs, according to a new study from the @UCD_EI. The system would reduce costs by 32% compared to the current approach. #ElectrifyNow! ⚡️

Nice story of a successful wire & cable producer in India, driven by a second-generation entrepreneur working over 40 years in the business.

Copper in solar panels: 1% of material weight, 6% of material value - diva-portal.org/smash/get/di…
In all electrical and electronic equipment, copper represents between 1 and 10% of material use, but punches well above its weight on circularity.
ALT Material content and value in photovoltaic panels. Glass, aluminium and polymers represent over 93% of the weight for 24% of the value. For silicon, silver and copper, these numbers are respectively 4.3% and 75%.

Actually thinking about this a little further and including the precious metals processed through the copper recycling system (in this case silver), it's still 1% of the weight, but now it becomes 30% of the value.

Great news that newly sold #electricmotors are increasingly efficient. However, this saving potential is hampered by too many old motors being operated much longer than anticipated. We need parallel incentivizing replacement programmes.

Copper quote of the week:
"Copper is the irreplaceable arteries and veins of an electrified, low carbon future."
And to continue the metaphor, copper is also in the beating heart and receiving organs of the electricity system. @thinkcopper @ElectricityU

Copper =
* an element
* a mineral
* a base metal
* an extensive product range
* a suite of applications
* interwoven with history
* a 200 B$ global industry pivotal for the energy transition and a circular economy

"It is the most beautiful subject possible for mathematical analysis."
~ William Thomson, when working out the physics for sending a signal along the first transatlantic copper cable in the 19th century.

Two thirds of copper is used in electricity systems, so we keep a keen eye on how they are evolving.

Absolutely GREAT!! Let's go for 100% renewables by 2035 instead of the politically correct net-zero by 2050. How?... watch this. @mzjacobson @MLiebreich @AukeHoekstra @thinkcopper @LeonardoENERGY @KadriSimson

A glimpse of what's to come in our increasingly electromagnetic environment? Urban systems are much stronger than rural systems, but they are also subject to much more "electrosmog".

Copper's value is in the assemblage of its many useful properties:
* conductivity
* mechanical strenght
* resistance to high temperature
* corrosion resistance
* compactness
* electrochemistry
* ductility

Excellent presentation from @DRAenergy at today's @users_tcp webinar. Climate neutrality is a team effort: supply and demand need to collaborate closely. #energytransition #energyflexibility
