Green technologies require minerals and metals to accomplish the energy transition. Clear regulation is needed to ensure that these critical minerals are mined in an environmentally and socially responsible manner. But the lengthy mining regulatory processes threaten to constrict supply of these vital minerals. “The Energy Transition” includes the transition of power generation to renewable resources (such as wind and solar) and the transition of transportation to electric vehicles. These elements of the Energy Transition will require the incorporation of charging stations and utility scale storage in transmission infrastructure. The International Energy Agency estimates that demand for metals used in renewable technologies is on pace to double by 2040 from its 2020 benchmark (with electric vehicles and battery storage technologies accounting for much of the increase), with the possibility of growing even more quickly during that period if global climate-focused policies are implemented. https://lnkd.in/dymNym_Y

DOWNLOAD REPORT: Think Tank: Achieving a Decarbonised Mine https://lnkd.in/exyJxJHB On May 7th, Energy and Mines attendees held round-table discussions to distill the barriers and challenges of decarbonised mining. The think tank was hosted by Greg Koppens from Entura The conclusions of the Think Tank emphasized several key action points for accelerating mine decarbonisation, including: 1. Facilitating Interconnection and Updating Regulations: Energy regulators should facilitate the interconnection of mines and power grids by dismantling outdated rules that hinder progress. 2. Funding Technological and Training Gaps: Entities like Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) should fund technological gaps, particularly in long-term energy storage, and support the industry’s efforts to deploy the massive (low-carbon) power supplies needed for charging haul trucks after fleet electrification. Additionally, funding for training and knowledge programs is essential to help the current workforce transition to new technologies. 3. Encouraging Collaboration Among Major Miners: Major miners should be less adversarial and enter joint ventures to build infrastructure for common use, optimizing resource utilization and fostering innovation. 4. Promoting Public Awareness and Transparent Reporting: A messaging campaign to inform the public on mine developments surrounding decarbonisation, transparent and standardized sustainability reporting, and a stable regulatory environment that nurtures decarbonisation and encourages investments are crucial for building trust and ensuring long-term success.

Transition metals play a crucial role in the energy transition, but their extraction and processing can contribute to a significant carbon footprint. From mining to refining processes, the energy-intensive nature of obtaining transition metals like lithium, cobalt, and nickel can result in substantial greenhouse gas emissions. Balancing the need for these metals in renewable energy technologies with the imperative to minimize environmental impact remains a critical challenge in achieving sustainable energy transitions. 📸 Visual Capitalist #EnergyTransition #Mining #GreenhouseGasEmissions
