The demand for metals used in renewable technologies could double by 2040, putting a strain on the mining sector. With permitting-related issues causing nearly 40% of mining delays, will the slow pace of mining development allow us to meet this growing need? How do these delays affect the overall permitting process when it comes to mining?

Today, revenues from coal production are ten times larger than those from energy transition minerals, however, clean energy technologies are becoming the fastest growing segment of demand. Like, share and follow the School of Mining and Mineral Resources as we lead the way to clean energy!

While the path from exploration to the start of commercial production for a mine may seem to move at a glacial pace in the United States, it's still on par with the worldwide average of 16 years. But, is this timeline too long when it comes to bringing critical minerals to market? And, how can the National Environmental Policy Act affect the process? How do these timelines affect the overall permitting process when it comes to mining?

🔴🌍 As renewable energy and electric vehicles surge, a critical copper shortage looms, warns the International Energy Agency. By 2030, existing mines may meet only 80% of demand, highlighting the urgent need for new mining projects. Learn how this impacts the global energy transition and what it means for the future of industries reliant on this essential metal. 🛠️⚡ https://lnkd.in/gTHBA6p2 #CopperShortage #RenewableEnergy #Mining #EnergyTransition #TheDriller

Probably my first post for which the supporting graph does not fit into the available space. Why is that? „Every year, about 15 billion tons of fossil fuels are mined and extracted. That’s about 535 times more mining than a clean energy economy would require in 2040.“ So yes, the energy transition still requires mining, but it’s always good to put things into relation.
