If there ’ s one thing the companies and organisations featured in this month ’ s issue of Mining Global have in common , it ’ s the quest to innovate to eradicate carbon emissions . Developing sustainable approaches to resourcing the minerals and metals we need to be capable of creating a greener future fuelled by wind turbines , solar power and battery technologies is more important than ever .
Aiming to combat climate change and make sure Mission Zero becomes ‘ Mission Possible ’ is no mean feat . That desire to innovate is in the DNA of companies like FLSmidth , dedicated to technical specialisation since 1882 . Indeed , a route towards achieving these sustainability goals exists through digital transformation . Axora is developing its digital B2B marketplace to address the pain points of heavy industries like mining that require solutions to drive the efficiencies that will contribute towards the lowering of Scope 1 , 2 and 3 emissions .
Partnering to achieve these goals is vital , so it ’ s great to see the spirit of collaboration developing further through organisations like the Electric Mine Consortium . De-carbonisation via electrification and digitalization can have an immediate and positive impact on the communities the mining industry operates in , and society as a whole . We can ’ t allow these efforts to be dismissed as ‘ greenwashing ’. Mining Global will always spotlight and welcome the spirit of innovation driving positive change .
