But wait… Instead of spiking at a rate of 2% or more […]

2021.11.29 铜广泛用于建筑、发电和输电，使其成为民用基础设施更新的关键金属。 Roskill 预测，在人口和GDP增长、城市化和电力需求的推动下，到2035年世界铜消费总量将超过4300万吨。 这十年，随着全球对汽车电气化的推动，对铜的需求即将起飞，因为典型的电动汽车 (EV) 使用的金属大约是普通内燃机 (ICE) 汽车的四倍。 咨询公司 AlixPartners 估计，目前仅占全球汽车总销量2%的电动汽车到2030年将占总销量的24%。据预测，到2025年，对电动汽车的投资总额可能达到3300亿美元。 为了在2030年使美国新车总数的一半成为电动汽车，总统拜登已经呼吁政府支出1740亿美元来推动电动汽车的发展，其中包括1000亿美元的消费者激励措施。 这些措施肯定会给全球铜业带来压力。该行业自2000年代以来就已经遭受多年投资不足的困扰，导致缺乏正在开发的新矿。 彭博新能源财经表示，20年后，铜矿商需要将全球铜产量翻一倍才能满足对电动汽车30%渗透率的需求 — 从目前的每年2000万吨增加到4000万吨。 电气化不仅包括汽车，还包括卡车、火车、运货车、建筑设备以及电动自行车、摩托车和踏板车等两轮车辆；所以铜的使用量肯定会高于预期。 充电站和可再生能源也需要铜，特别是用于太阳能发电的光伏电池和风力涡轮机。 CRU集团的数据显示，到2030年的10年内，全球绿色能源部门的铜消耗量将增长五倍。 全球能源咨询公司 Wood Mackenzie 表示，总体而言，为了实现社会基础设施的电气化并实现1.5˚C的全球变暖轨迹，未来二十年将需要大约50万亿美元的投资。 资料来源: Wood Mackenzie 资料来源: Wood Mackenzie 根据 WoodMac 较为宽松的加速能源转型-2（AET-2）方案，这与将前工业化时代以来全球气温上升限制在2°C是一致的，在未来20年中，大约需要1900万吨铜来供应能源转型，这意味着额外的供应增加了85%（参见上图）。 这是当今生产商必须克服的挑战，不仅是现在，而且是在未来二十年甚至更长的时间里。 供不应求 据 S&P Global Market Intelligence (标准普尔全球市场情报) 预测，由于项目短缺，从长期来看，供应将滞后于需求。 尽管这家总部位于纽约的分析公司预计2021年和2025年的矿产铜产量将从2020年的211.6万吨分别增至218.7万吨和261.4万吨，但这并不能阻止2025年后的供应缺口。 现有铜矿（包括精矿和溶剂萃取电积）的产量预计将在2021-2025年以1.0%的复合年增长率增长，但由于矿石品位下降和矿山关闭，2026-2020年的复合年增长率将下降至4.7%。 这些矿山包括嘉能可 (Glencore) 拥有33.75%的 Antamina（必和必拓 (BHP) 33.75%、泰克资源 (Teck Resources) 22.5%、三菱 (Mitsubishi) 10%）、Codelco 的 Radomiro Tomic 和泰克的 Highland Valley。 因此，现有运营矿山的产量 — 不考虑那些正在启动、项目扩张或矿山重启的资产 — […]
