Modern liquid-cooled facilities may require 20-40 tonnes of copper per megawatt, while aluminium demand is growing across power distribution, cooling and cable-management systems. Data centers are also tightening US HRC and galvanized-steel availability. Global data-center capacity is forecast to more than double from 97 GW in 2025 to 200 GW by 2030. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"567\" height=\"189\" src=\"https:\/\/metarexllcco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/METAREX-NEWS-AGENTS-LOGO1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18968\" style=\"width:142px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/metarexllcco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/METAREX-NEWS-AGENTS-LOGO1.jpg 567w, https:\/\/metarexllcco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/METAREX-NEWS-AGENTS-LOGO1-400x133.jpg 400w, https:\/\/metarexllcco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/METAREX-NEWS-AGENTS-LOGO1-430x143.jpg 430w, https:\/\/metarexllcco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/METAREX-NEWS-AGENTS-LOGO1-150x50.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 567px) 100vw, 567px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rapid US data-center development is creating additional demand for aluminium, copper, steel, graphite, gallium and indium.
