Cochilco, Chile's state copper commission, forecasts that CO2 emissions from the country's copper sector will rise from 18Mt predicted for 2009 to 36Mt in 2020, if copper output grows as forecast from the 5.38Mt expected this year to 7.38Mt in 2020, and if the copper mining industry continues with current methods. Speaking at a conference on 2 November, Cochilco's director of public policies and research said mitigation measures to increase energy efficiency must be implemented.

The world's biggest copper producer, Chile's Codelco, expects an economic rebound in the US and Europe will help support demand for copper next year with China maintaining its growth. Codelco's copper output for the first nine months this year was up 16% y/y at 1.21 million tonnes, and it expects output of 1.7 million tonnes for the full year and slightly more next year. Economic recovery will support copper prices.

Japan's top six copper smelters are together planning a cautious increase of output in fiscal H2 (Oct09-Mar10), to a combined 764,058 tonnes which will be 3.3% up y/y and 2.6% up on H1. But several will stop short of restoring full production and Pan Pacific Copper (Japan's top copper smelter) will produce 1.6% less than a year ago, citing tight raw material supplies. Sumitomo Metal Mining's H2 output will be 0.9% down y/y, Mitsubishi Materials' 20% up (last H2's output was affected by repairs at its Naoshima smelter), Dowa Holdings' 13% up, Furukawa's 0.9%. up, and Nittetsu Mining's 0.9% down.
