Information

The panel will discuss the challenges and opportunities associated with the integration of renewable energy into mining operations as part of decarbonization goals. Panelists will share their experiences in evaluating and transitioning to renewable energy, as well as their perspectives on the financial, regulatory, and policy considerations involved.

  • What are the key benefits of integrating renewable energy into mining operations, and how are mining companies achieving their decarbonization goals through renewable energy projects?
  • What do miners see as the best combination of technologies for delivering carbon-free, baseload power?
  • What are the biggest challenges mining companies still face in trying to transition to renewable energy?
  • Are operational experiences with renewable energy informing future mine design for your organizations - and how?
  • The energy shift and fleet electrification: how are miners integrating energy and mobility decarbonization?
  • What regulatory and policy changes would make it easier for mining companies to transition to renewable energy?
  • How do miners view the different contract models for renewable energy and storage - owner operator vs. power purchase agreement (PPA)?
