No matter where you are in the world, to quote Rich Nolan 'there is no time in mining's history that has been more significant than this moment right now..' Here in the UK we have wealth of skills, experience and expertise in the mining supply chain from research, development & manufacturing to service provision & education. Simply put, it all comes back to mining! #mining #miningequipment #miningtechnology

MIND THE GAP   The energy transition can only happen with the transition metals the mining sector delivers.  But the mining sector is a large energy consumer itself. So we need to enable it to scale up and clean up at the same time - with urgency. At the FT Live Mining Summit 2024 yesterday Andrew Hill, Alejandra Wood Huidobro, Doug Gurr, Adam Matthews and I discussed what's missing from existing frameworks to catalyse the decarbonisation of the sector? Some thoughts….   ⬅ ➡ Gap 1️⃣ - Avoided emissions GHG protocol does a great job of codifying accountability if your scope 3 footprint is upstream, but less so for sectors like mining with dominant downstream in-use footprint. However, in addition to absolute S1-3, Avoided Emissions (AE) is a relative measure that compares emissions from one product/system to another that provides equivalent function. So the strategic work on AE being led by WBCSD – World Business Council for Sustainable Development could fill that gap and drive innovation and collaboration for new technology in mining.   💡 Gap 2️⃣ Best available technology Future technology innovation will be part of the solution, but we don’t need to wait as some of the solution is already here.  For example, around 25-30% of mining energy is consumed in the comminution circuit, the process of crushing rocks.  A redesigned flowsheet, applying proven technologies in an innovative way, consumes around 40% less energy and can avoid up to 50% of CO2e emissions (https://lnkd.in/esjKtH86).  So robust technical standards for valuation of sustainable process designs in the mining sector, combined with regulation to drive adoption of best available technology, could deliver material emissions reductions.   ⚡ Gap 3️⃣ - Low carbon mine energy Some mine geographies get all their power from renewable sources, but a large proportion are either dependent on high-carbon grids or lack access to grid so have a dependency on diesel generation.  A global strategic approach to investment in the decarbonisation of power grids/local energy supplies for regions producing energy transition minerals would enable simultaneous scale up and clean up.  It would also create the additive social benefit of reliable energy supply to remote, often under provisioned, communities. All of the above would enable more robust and transparent decision making for transition finance - and where better for transition finance to invest in projects than the sector who's end products will enable the low-carbon energy transition

One of my favorite event of the year. 👇 Come see me to discuss #Simulation, #Optimization and #DigitalTwin of course, but also Value Chain Integrated Planning.

Reflecting on an Incredible #MINExpo2024! Last month, Michelin Mining took the stage at MINExpo in Las Vegas, connecting with mining professionals from around the world to discuss the industry's latest advancements. From exploring innovative tire solutions like the Michelin XDR 4 SPEED ENERGY™ to engaging in insightful conversations on sustainability and efficiency, it was an event to remember. We’re excited to continue driving the industry forward with new partnerships and cutting-edge technologies. Watch our recap video to see the highlights and get a glimpse of what's next for the future of mining! #MichelinMining #MichelinBetterMining #miningindustry #mining
