The Renewable Opportunity in Mining
Renewable energy can provide mine operators with solutions to several of the challenges they face today, including energy costs, fossil fuel volatility, social license to operate, and meeting environmental, societal, and governance goals. However, the integration of wind, solar, storage, and other renewable technologies presents several technical barriers that are generally not well understood by the mining industry. Many of these barriers will require further research, development, demonstration, and deployment (RDD&D) before we see higher levels of renewables adoption in the mining industry.
