Global leaders in environmental and advisory solutions

Read SLR Insights touching on three of the fundamental areas to unlock decarbonization in the mining industry. We discuss the “electrification of everything” in the industry. Next, we re-imagine mining companies transitioning from a traditional linear supply to become a key player in a circular economy model, proactively taking hold of the future of raw material supply. And lastly, we consider the changing profile of metals demand as the transition to greener energy takes hold and in particular the role battery metals will play.

Making the case for decarbonization with mining companies

For many companies, the prospect of decarbonizing their operations can be daunting. Sam Gill, SLR’s principal climate change consultant, outlines how the decarbonization for mining companies is achievable and has many advantages for a forward-thinking company.

Solving supply for decarbonisation

A key to decarbonisation is the replacement of our existing fossil fuel- based economy with global electrification powered by carbon neutral energy sources. This conversion will require vast quantities of metals. Ian Weir, Technical Manager, Mining Advisory, discusses which metals are needed and how they are the key to the decarbonisation supply chain.

Decarbonising Mining Operations: Is the electrification of everything the best solution?

Mitigating the adverse effects of climate change relies on our continued and unified global efforts to accelerate the lowering of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions caused by human activity. Many mining companies across the globe have stepped up to commit to significant reductions in their GHG emissions. Those plans now need to translate into real-world actions. How will the global mining sector respond to this challenge and make these commitments a reality in the coming decade?
