Increasing the
Global Copper
Supply

Copper is a critical mineral as the world races to transition to clean energy. Bechtel is designing and building the infrastructure needed to secure the supply of copper for decades to come — and doing so safely, with minimum disruption to local communities and the environment.

Critical Minerals

Bechtel helped extend the life and increase the output of Teck’s Quebrada Blanca copper mine, tapping one of the world’s largest undeveloped copper resources. The expansion project included a 143,000 tonnes-per-day copper concentrator, a high-capacity desalination plant, and a 103-mile (165-km) water supply pipeline. The project was inaugurated in October 2023, and QB2 is expected to generate 316,000 tonnes of copper-equivalent production per year for the first five full years of mine life.

Critical Minerals

Bechtel helped Antofagasta Minerals (AMSA) sustain the production level at its Los Pelambres mine. Together, we reduced environmental impact, established long-term relationships with neighboring communities, promoted local socioeconomic development, and strengthened the local labor force. We also focused on water efficiency by reducing continental water consumption and increasing seawater usage.

Matagorda eFuels Facility

Energy Security & Transition

Bechtel conducted the engineering and design for an HIF Global facility that will revolutionize U.S. transportation through eFuels. The facility will produce approximately 200 million gallons per year of carbon-neutral gasoline that can be used in cars without any modification to existing engines or infrastructure.
