This private company is disrupting the mining industry by...not mining! Stanford University recently released a lifecycle analysis study on Redwood Materials' Northern Nevada campus, where it has created a closed-loop, domestic supply chain for EV batteries by recycling and refining lithium-ion batteries. According to Stanford’s research, Redwood’s innovative approach utilizes: - 80% less energy - cuts CO2 emissions by 70% - reduces water use by 80% compared to traditional mining. So - in a circular economy, are traditional miners doomed? #Mining #CircularEconomy #Disruption #LongTermInvesting Scottish Mortgage Investment Trust PLC UK invests in Redwood - learn more about our thoughts here: https://lnkd.in/dd6veHgR Capital at risk https://lnkd.in/d2ySKTfF

This paper gives important insight into Rio's advances in decarb, in an area that is considered 'hard to abate'. With Boron already transitioned to renewable diesel, and Kennecott expected to do so by mid-year, Rio will be consuming around 200m litres of the green fuel on an annual basis. And this is just the beginning of our exciting journey towards sustainability.
Our latest briefing paper focuses on a critical challenge - reducing our reliance on diesel fuel. Diesel has been the backbone of our mining operations for over a century, but it also accounts for 12% of our total emissions. The challenge? There's a current gap in commercially viable, zero-emissions alternatives for large-scale mining. And we're not alone – the entire industry faces this hurdle. That's why we're actively involved in R&D to accelerate long-term solutions. But we're also taking action now. Our strategic pathway combines ongoing innovation with existing technologies to achieve a 50% reduction in diesel emissions by 2030, and net zero by 2050.
