The third edition of the SDQ explores the decarbonisation trends of copper and cobalt and provides a unique framework to assess progress made against decarbonisation targets by Antofagasta, CODELCO, Freeport-McMoRan and Grupo Mexico.

We also explore the following topics:

• Canada's Bill C-59 adds pressure on companies to substantiate claims or targets that have environmental benefits. We discuss the nuances of different target types and where the lack of clarity or misunderstanding could arise
• Leading copper companies continue to pilot BEVs at mine sites with most exploring options for substitution or blending with renewable diesel
• In collaboration with Costmine Intelligence and Whittle Consulting, we explore the economics of mine fleet electrification. With equipment at a significant premium to diesel equivalents, re-optimisation of the mine plan is critical to finding opportunities to offset the negative financial impacts
