Description
This study is based on Cochilco's annual Mining Survey of Production, Water, and Energy (EMPAE) covering 53 copper mining operations in Chile, accounting for 99% of national copper production in 2022. Despite high coverage, maintaining data quality remains crucial. The report reveals insights into the energy consumption of the copper mining industry, showing a total energy consumption of 185,995 TJ in 2022, representing 15% of the country's total consumption. The analysis highlights regional disparities, energy source breakdowns, and efforts toward renewable energy integration and energy efficiency. Additionally, it explores emerging trends in electromobility within the copper mining sector.
