'By increasing local production, the nation can realize significant economic benefits, enhance national security, drive technological innovation, and advance sustainable energy goals.'
The United States has ambitious goals to cut greenhouse gas emissions by at least 50% by 2030 and increase the use of renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar power. Achieving these goals is possible, but it will require a secure and reliable supply of copper that is essential in green energy technologies.
Unfortunately, the United States currently relies heavily on foreign imports for its copper supply, some of which comes from countries with questionable environmental and labor practices. In 2022, the United States imported 41% of the copper we consumed.
Hudbay is committed to responsible and sustainable mining practices at Copper World. For example, we have already recharged more CAP water into the local aquifer than will be used at the mine for its first seven years and are committed to having a net positive impact on local water resources. The permits we obtain to protect air and water quality will require monitoring and reporting to verify that the mine is functioning as intended.
