Now that many miners have set targets for net zero mining, the challenge is trying to define the pathways to realize these targets while maintaining growth and production. This opening keynote will bring together mining leaders to discuss the challenges, strategies and opportunities for managing the complex transition to net zero mining.
- How are mining leaders addressing the challenges of transitioning to net zero mining, such as high capital costs and complex supply chains?
- How can mines balance the need to reduce emissions with the demand for minerals and other resources?
- How are miners evaluating the up front cost benefit of carbon avoidance for new operations vs. acting later to decarbonize?
- What key technologies and innovations are mines deploying to reduce emissions and improve sustainability in mining operations?
- What role could government policies play to better support the transition to net zero mining?
- How are mining companies engaging with local communities, investors and other stakeholders to ensure that the transition to net zero mining is sustainable and equitable?
- What are the biggest financial risks and opportunities associated with the transition to net zero mining, and how are miners managing these risks and leveraging these opportunities?
