Making mining cleaner and more sustainable with renewable energy

Mining is an energy-intensive business. Headgear, conveyor lines, crusher mills, sorting plants, and other related facilities and functions require power to operate. In most cases this means electricity, and even equipment that is currently powered in other ways (e.g., diesel motors/generators), could be replaced with electrically powered versions going forward.

As new mines open and existing ones expand, the overall energy requirements of the sector will increase, hiking running costs, placing more strain on power utility grids that are often already struggling to keep up with demand, and negatively affecting the environment – unless industry players actively seek out alternatives.

Moving away from fossil-fuel based power can cut costs and reduce risks

Rising fuel costs, unavailable or unreliable utility grid power, and the risk of operational disruptions due to load shedding, breakdowns and other planned or unplanned power outages are all factors that make it worthwhile for you to consider using renewable energy to fully- or partially power your surface or underground mine, or related facility.

If implemented and used correctly, renewable energy increases profitability and improves operational efficiency.

Mining

Invest in the future

There is also growing awareness within the mining sector of the need for mines to improve their environmental profile by operating in a way that lowers their carbon footprint, reduces greenhouse gas emissions, and ensures that they have minimal to no impact on global warming and climate change.

Many minerals and metals buyers now factor sustainability into their purchasing decisions, and there is increasing pressure from governments and organisations to encourage mining businesses to act in the most environmentally friendly manner possible.

Switching over to renewable energy is an investment in our environment and future as well as in your business.
