Panel discussion: Embracing renewable energy for mining: integration strategies
Given the remoteness of mine operations, fossil fuels like diesel, heavy oils, and coal were traditionally the primary energy sources. Energy recovery, renewable energy, and carbon capture present opportunities to supplement or replace fossil fuel. But a comprehensive integration of renewable-energy technologies is essential.
Key takeaways
- Unleashing the potential of renewable energy technologies
- Addressing demand across mining operations
- Boosting the operating margins for renewable energy
- Managing the demand for a skilled workforce
