Summary :

• LME’s green premium initiative: The LME plans to launch low-carbon price premiums for nickel, aluminium, zinc and copper, aiming to unlock the value of sustainable metal production
• Sustainability standards set: Maximum carbon footprint thresholds for metals like aluminium (10 tonnes CO2e) and nickel (20 tonnes CO2e) will guide the new premium assessments
• Market challenges ahead: While demand for low-carbon metals grows, skepticism remains about consumer willingness to pay premiums, particularly for copper
