Mining is part of the infrastructure solution for a cleaner energy future. Sustainable hard rock mining can get us there faster by reducing its fossil fuel energy consumption.
Access Mining strives to deliver sustainability outcomes by building relationships and collaborating with, sustainable people, sustainable clients, and sustainable supply partners.
Sustainable and efficient mining (or any business for that matter) makes sense from a business economics perspective (sustainable businesses can exist in perpetuity) as well as a carbon emissions perspective.
As Nick Ponto (IBM Consulting) makes mention in this article, that by reducing waste and fossil fuel energy consumption, and by increasing electrification, mining can leverage the clean energy derived by the commodities it produces. Technology in systems analysis has a big role to play.
Mining continues to push operational high-performance, and this push must include efficient use of all inputs. Managing and building sustainable technology, machinery, people, processes can reduce our waste outputs (energy, emissions) for the same production.
Underground hard rock mining is energy intensive.
Access Mining listens to our people, our clients, and our supply partners for ways to be more efficient, less fossil-fuel intensive, and waste less as we deliver for our clients. Our clients are the mining houses that are supplying the world’s clean energy commodities. We are trying to help them do that more sustainably.
The world’s demand for energy, and clean energy is increasing exponentially. Sustainable mining has a critical role in delivering that clean energy future while reducing fossil fuel energy as we go.
