最新研究表明，约640万吨铜产能因环境、社会和治理（ESG）问题陷入停滞或暂停状态，相当于全球矿产总产量的25%以上。 GEM矿业咨询分析师指出，与地质或技术障碍不同，这些瓶颈可通过强化治理、深化社区参与及推行可持续实践来解决。该研究发布之际，电气化、可再 生能源增长及数字经济正持续推升铜需求。 智利、秘鲁和美国等国目前拥有大量未投入市场的铜储量。GEM经济学负责人Patricio Faúndez指出，即使仅开发其中一小部分项目，也能缓解能源转型期间 迫在眉睫的供应短缺问题。 秘鲁未开发铜矿储量占比最高，约31%或180万吨，其次是美国80万吨、智利70万吨，阿根廷和巴布亚新几内亚（PNG）各约60万吨。 秘鲁当前停产的铜矿产量几乎等同于其年产量。研究指出，若这些产能得以释放，秘鲁年产量将突破400万吨，超越刚果民主共和国重夺全球第二大铜生产 国地位。 在美国，重启搁置项目可缩小国内产量与消费增长之间的缺口，增强供应保障并降低进口依赖。 智利方面，这些滞留的铜矿产能有望终结该国长达数十年的年产量550万吨天花板，推动产量突破600万吨，巩固其全球供应主导地位。 在33个因ESG因素停滞的项目中，秘鲁La Gr ...
