Products fundamental to enabling the energy transition

Our aim is to reliably and responsibly provide metals and minerals that are required to decarbonise our planet and that are also the building blocks of modern life – from housing to food – for ever more people.

We are transforming our portfolio to focus on three future-enabling product groups of copper, premium iron ore, and low-carbon fertilisers.

These are all products that are fundamental to enabling the energy transition and supporting improved global living standards and food security.

Copper

Copper is critical to decarbonisation, in particular to the transition of the global energy system. The transition from fossil fuel energy use to electricity produced from low-carbon sources relies on an increased supply of copper; a critical metal used in renewable energy generation, power grids, as well as hybrid and electric.

Premium iron ore

As global populations increase and nations develop, the need for materials to enable this development will continue to grow. Steel remains critical to development and industrialisation, as well as forming the foundation for low-carbon infrastructure. Our premium iron ore operations provide high iron ore content products, helping steel producers to minimise emissions while boosting productivity.

Crop nutrients

Continued global population growth and increasing per capita wealth means that more crops must be produced to meet growing food demand. Our Crop Nutrients business will contribute to a more sustainable way of feeding the world by developing low-carbon fertiliser products derived from polyhalite, including our POLY4 product, from the Woodsmith Mine in North Yorkshire.
