Copper producers have issued fresh warnings about price volatility for the red metal — vital for the clean energy transition — as the industry meets for its most important annual gathering, the London Metal Exchange week.
铜生产商对铜的价格波动发出了新的警告。这种红色金属对清洁能源转型至关重要，而铜行业正在举行最重要的年度聚会——伦敦金属交易所周(London Metal Exchange week)。
Iván Arriagada, chief executive of Chilean copper producer Antofagasta, said there was a “disconnect” between government policies that are not issuing permits for new mines quickly enough, and demand for the metal.
智利铜生产商安托法加斯塔公司(Antofagasta)首席执行官伊万•阿里亚加达(Iván Arriagada)说，政府政策没有足够快地为新矿山发放许可证，这与金属需求之间存在“脱节”。
Over the next decade the world will need to add the equivalent of Chile’s entire copper production, he said, otherwise there is a risk the energy transition “will be delayed”.
他说，在未来十年里，全球将需要增产的铜应该相当于智利的全部铜产量，否则能源转型就有可能“被推迟”。
