Breakfast Briefing: Falling Short of 2030 Goals: Key Risks Facing Miners

With decarbonization solutions still being evaluated and, in some cases, under development, as well as growing concerns around technology availability, skill sets and financing, shortfalling on 2030 carbon emissions goals is a real possibility for miners. This interactive breakfast will explore the biggest risks mines are facing in meeting interim carbon targets and how to build flexibility and resilience into decarbonization plans.

• As 2030 plans move into action, what are the biggest risks miners are facing that could result in missing interim carbon emissions goals?
• How are mining companies addressing the issue of technology uncertainty and availability?
• What’s involved in a multiple pathways approach to 2030 goals, and when is it necessary to commit to a specific pathway?
• How are mining companies integrating the decarbonization projects into their sustaining capital budgets?
• What are evolving best practices for de-risking investment in decarbonization initiatives including evaluating different finance models for renewable energy (PPAs vs. on balance sheet?
• How can miners build flexibility into decarbonization strategies to growing carbon footprints and operational realities?
