World's leading copper producers and a Chilean state-owned company Corporación Nacional del Cobre de Chile CODELCO and NYK Bulk & Project Carriers have signed a memorandum of understanding to jointly study the decarbonized transportation of copper products. The two companies will jointly promote the evaluation and development of next-generation fuel technologies and study the use of decarbonized vessels for oceangoing transport of copper products.CODELCO and NBP aim to contribute to the realization of a decarbonized society by transporting and supplying copper products by means of transportation having a low environmental impact.The two companies will collaborate by taking advantage of each company’s strengths and experience, with a view to involve third parties in the future, to decarbonize the supply chain of copper products.Global demand for copper is expected to increase in the future due to the expected development of power grids for offshore wind power generation, the spread of electric vehicles, etc. Máximo Pacheco, Chairman of the Board, CODELCO:
