    Furukawa Electric Co., Ltd. announced plans to integrate three subsidiaries related to electrical power parts by April 2013. The subsidiaries it is considering are the Asahi Electric Works Co., Ltd. engaging in power transmission, Inoue Manufacturing Co., Ltd. producing underground power lines and Furukawa Power Components Inc. which produces overhead distribution lines. The merger will form a comprehensive parts manufacturer encompassing the entire electrical supply network ranging from power plants to consumers. In the future, it plans to mobilize technology and management resources to strengthen overseas deployment as well as research and development for new energies. Following the integration, it aims to increase sales from about ¥17 billion in total in 2010 to ¥30 billion by 2016.

    Japan's Ministry of Finance reported that refined copper exports amounted to 23,760t in May, down by 52% y-o-y. This marks the eighth consecutive monthly y-o-y fall in exports, mainly attributed to consumer destocking in China. Conversely, when compared to the previous month, refined copper exports rose by 0.8%. China, Taiwan, Indonesia and Thailand are the major destinations for Japanese refined copper exports.

    It was reported that China's Amer International expects to complete construction of its new 250,000t/y copper rod production line, located in its Chaohu City facility in Anhui Province, by year-end. The expansion project will bring Amer's production capacity to 500,000t/y and its total copper rod production is anticipated to reach 200,000t in 2011. A spokesperson for the company said that it will manufacture rod for both domestic and foreign export markets. In addition, Amer also intends to source copper cathode for rod-processing from within China and also overseas. Total investment for the project amounted to RMB2.5B.

    Jiangxi Copper has said that it will start-up a new 400,000t/y wirerod and wire plant in H2 2012, after missing its scheduled commissioning month of May due to the onset of the rainy season. The plant, which is based in Zengcheng city, Guangdong province, will be fed by refined copper produced by the company's smelting/refining operations resulting in less Jiangxi Copper cathode available to the domestic market. After startup, the company's semi-finished copper products capacity would double to almost 900,000t/y. Whereas Platt's figures indicate that Jiangxi's cathode production is expected to rise by a smaller value of around 150,000t to reach 1.09Mt in 2012.

    Leyuan Group has started-up 40 copper foil lines with a total annual production capacity of 10,000t. The new plant is located in Tianjin City, Tianjin province and will be supplemented with two further phases of capacity expansions. The second phase lines are expected to be commissioned in June 2012 while the final phase capacity expansions will be operational by June 2013. The plant represents Leyuan Group's only copper foil production facility and the end of the phased capacity expansion project should see the company's maximum production capability amount to 100,000t/y. Leyuan expects to supply the domestic and Southeast Asian markets with copper foil produced from locally sourced copper cathode. Capital investment for the project is expected to amount to RMB1.22B.

    Southwire, the US-based aluminium and copper cablemaker, has said that while the use of copper in most electrical applications is unlikely to change, some manufacturers are likely to move toward the use of aluminium wire. The auto industry is increasingly using aluminium wire for traditional copper applications. This is occurring most predominantly outside of the US, however domestic autos companies have also been using aluminium wire for battery cable and aluminium wire harnesses for lights. Southwire stated that for most electrical applications copper usage will remain dominant because of its overall reliability.

  • The mining industry faces an interesting paradox. It is the lynchpin of the transition to a low-carbon economy, providing the materials that go into new grids and electric vehicles, yet miners’ extraction processes gorge on large amounts of power. Miners account for 6% of the world’s energy demand, and meet most of it with fossil fuels.
  • Miners, which account for 22% of global industrial emissions, are facing more pressure to decarbonize than ever before – from investors, customers in the technology and auto industries, and even consumers further downstream.
