Session 2: Financing and Prioritizing Mine Decarbonisation

The transition to net zero mining is a costly and complicated process which doesn’t currently yield a tangible reward in the form of a green premium for low-carbon commodities. This panel will bring together senior mining leaders to discuss different approaches to financing mine decarbonisation at this critical stage of the net zero transition.

• How are mining companies approaching the financing of decarbonisation initiatives within their operations - prioritizing, budgeting and measuring the ROI of different decarbonisation projects?
• How are miners balancing the upfront capital costs of decarbonisation with the long-term benefits, and what financing models are beneficial in this context?
• How are mining companies engaging with investors and shareholders to communicate their decarbonisation strategies and attract sustainable financing?
• In the face of increasing pressure to reduce carbon emissions, how are mining companies securing funding for research and development of innovative, low-carbon technologies?
• What are the key challenges and opportunities miners anticipate in terms of financing decarbonisation efforts, and how can the industry collectively address them?
