In this panel, senior executives from Australian mining operators will offer informed perspectives on why miners are choosing renewable energy options and what the remaining barriers are for integrating these solutions.
- What are the main drivers for considering renewable energy options for your operations?
- How has the global pandemic affected operational energy strategies and decarbonisation goals?
- Has lower oil pricing had an impact on financial modelling for renewables options?
- What are the main barriers preventing renewables from being “business as usual” for mines?
- What would mining operators like to see from traditional suppliers and independent power producers to facilitate adoption of low-carbon energy solutions?
- What are the main differences with integrating renewables for greenfield vs. operating sites?
- What are the preferred finance models for renewable energy projects?
- How is stakeholder interest in climate strategy shaping power and sustainability strategies?
- Beyond powering operations, how are renewables expected to play a role in broader energy and sustainability goals - i.e. minerals processing, fleet decarbonization and electrification initiatives?
