How mining companies can embrace sustainable fuels to cut emissions
As a 2020 report by McKinsey Sustainability found, the mining industry is responsible for 4–7% of global greenhouse gas emissions, rising to an even more alarming 28% if taking into consideration Scope-3 emissions from the combustion of coal – aviation, meanwhile, falls at less than 2%. Mining, however, suffers from a pollution paradox.
Here's how the mining industry can respond to climate change
Scope 1 and Scope 2 CO2 emissions from the sector (those incurred through mining operations and power consumption, respectively) amount to 1 percent, and fugitive methane emissions from coal mining are estimated at 3 to 6 percent. 1 A significant share of global emissions—28 percent—would be considered Scope 3 …
Addressing the urgency of sustainable mining
The resources industry's historic impact on the environment is clear, with 4 – 7% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions coming from mining alone. 1 But without a sustainable resources industry, global efforts to reduce CO 2 emissions will be difficult. Therefore, meeting sustainability commitments is vital not only for the success of energy …
