A low-carbon future relies on raw materials, including metals. There can be no wind or solar energy, nor electric vehicles, without copper, aluminium or steel, to name but a few.

The European Copper Institute and the Buildings Performance Institute Europe invite you to a conference on smart buildings, which will explore the policy aspects of integrating the concept into EU legislation, and also real-world examples.

Dr Katia Lacasse of the European Copper Institute has defined five points concerning copper, carbon pricing and future competitiveness in the European Union ahead of tomorrow’s Eurometaux-led meeting that asks: how can we really enable Europe’s low-carbon transition?

ECI contributed data and expertise to a recently-launched website providing scientific information about the behaviour of metals in the environment, targeting users of all backgrounds and levels of experience.

A special exhibition at Italy’s South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology—running until 14 January 2018—explores humanity’s relationship with its oldest metal: copper.

ECI will join the European metals industry on 19 October in Brussels to discuss the challenges and opportunities of enabling Europe’s low-carbon transition.

The European Copper Institute is among 13 companies and industry associations from across Europe that have joined forces to identify key asks for the upcoming Low Emission Mobility Package.

Tomorrow, ECI’s Katia Lacasse will chair a Eurometaux event addressing the implementation of conclusions drawn from a recently-published policy report: Best Available Techniques (BAT) Reference Document for the Non-Ferrous Metals Industries.

The European Copper Institute is pleased to announce Copper Alloys 2018, taking place 11–12 April in Milan. The event aims to strengthen the copper and copper alloy community by providing a biennial, international forum for scientific presentations and information exchange. It is jointly presented by Deutsches Kupferinstitut and Swerea KIMAB.

A new fact sheet from the European Copper Institute offers guidance for manufacturers and regulators on the use of copper and copper alloys to manufacture articles intended to come into contact with food.
