What We Sustain
Planning for 2030, 2050 and beyond
If we look at the bigger picture of what we’re trying to achieve, we can be forgiven for feeling overwhelmed. But in a good way, as we are on our way to reduced emissions, carbon neutrality and sustainability throughout mining operations.
A common approach by our panellists is the testing of solutions which will help them achieve their short(er)-term 2030 goals. If they can achieve these, then the technology can be tweaked and used to achieve the greater 2050 sustainability goals.
The industry is truly working together to discover, test and optimize for a smarter and greener future. Small gains do lead to a big impact.
Instilling sustainable operations now for future mines
When we look at our renewable energy transition, digital transformation and the electrification element we are working in tandem, it’s not just today’s mines which will benefit us. If we collaboratively work together with our surroundings on getting these initiatives and technological advancements in place, then we can push the industry towards building a sustainable and even, self-sustaining, mine for decades to come.
How can we achieve success in the future?
One of the key takeaways from our session was that most mines are facing the same concerns and constraints – regardless of where they are or what material they mine.
The energy transition will provide challenges but a future of safe, profitable and sustainable mining relies upon electrification, automation and digitalization.
Whilst change is often a daunting prospect with lots of facets to consider, embracing it is necessary if we are to achieve a carbon-neutral future.
So…are you ready for change?
