Decarbonising Mining: Practical Steps for Reducing Emissions Across the Mining Lifecycle

Mining operations face growing pressure to cut greenhouse gas emissions. SRK Consulting's Green Mining Interactive Infographic breaks down decarbonisation opportunities across the mining lifecycle, from exploration to closure. The resource covers carbon accounting, climate risk assessment, and electrification of haulage, including trolley assist and battery-electric trucks. It also links to articles on carbon budgets, water engineering under climate change, and the Australia-EU trade agreement for critical minerals. For mining companies evaluating their decarbonisation pathways, the infographic provides a structured way to look at emissions management, energy efficiency, and technology trade-offs. It connects technical choices like haulage electrification to broader reporting frameworks such as the GHG Protocol, TCFD, and IFRS. The content is practical and aimed at operators who need to move from high-level targets to specific actions across the mine lifecycle.
