Will copper shortages delay energy transition?

The world is moving towards a future with higher levels of renewable energy generation and more extensive electrification of final energy demand.

Copper is essential for most of the clean energy technologies we will rely on in future, so a sustainable and secure supply of copper is vital to realise the full benefits of the energy transition. Jacques Moss at Guidehouse Insights asks: can copper supply keep up?

Given the challenges of achieving net zero by 2050, where will you focus your future investments? Energy Focus puts the big question to four members

Pipe dream? Beyond the hype and hope of energy transition

The case for energy transition is clear:

There’s a lot of excitement surrounding hydrogen, carbon capture and floating offshore wind, with many projects already on the books. But with the lack of facilities at scale, lack of capacity, lack of demand, lack of policy, lack of funding and lack of profit, Jonathan Dyble asks: are these really net-zero pathways, or simply net-zero pipe dreams?

Happy 80th Anniversary EIC!

We asked founding member companies and some of EIC’s key stakeholders and partners around the world for their reflections on EIC’s 80th anniversary.

This year marks EIC’s 80th anniversary, and Energy Focus could not be more excited to celebrate all that EIC has accomplished in partnership with members, partners, employees and friends. It is because of their continued support that EIC has been able to evolve continuously since its founding.

Unlocking the potential of floating offshore wind

Located approximately 13km off the coast of Aberdeen, a significant achievement for the UK offshore wind industry stands out.

The floating offshore wind industry is an exciting global opportunity that will play a key role in the energy transition. However, there are barriers to full commercialisation that must be addressed and overcome, says EIC Senior Analyst Pietro Ferreira
