Information

Having set ambitious carbon reduction targets, mining companies are now under pressure from stakeholders to identify the concrete actions that will deliver on those goals. Defining the pathways to zero-emissions mining is a complex and challenging process. This live panel and interactive Q&A will provide critical insight from global mining leaders on how they’re approaching this challenge.

● Details on mid-term and long-term carbon emissions reduction targets 

● What pathways are currently being explored to meet these targets for energy and mobility?

● Which disruptive technologies will likely be the most effective in terms of completely replacing diesel for mine power and transport?

● What are the main challenges of trying to lower emissions from power and transport while maintaining production targets? 

● What lessons have been learned from current investments in renewables and low-carbon technologies? 

● How will energy and mobility systems be further integrated as part of the overall decarbonization strategy?

● As decarbonization targets ramp up, what level of renewable energy integration will become attractive and/or necessary?

● What would assist mining’s transition to low-carbon operations? What can suppliers do to  fit with the current business needs and challenges mines are facing?
