Toronto, 21 – 22 november 2016

4th Annual Renewables for Mining Toronto Summit, 21 -22 november 2016

Mining meets Renewables to address Key Energy Challenges

The global focus of the congress  is on case studies and market updates on renewables for mines in Africa, Australia, South America and North America.  10 new international renewables for mines case studies will be presented.

The keynote session is dedicated to the role of renewables in driving the competitiveness of mines. Even with lower oil price, energy remains very expensive in many mining regions. Production costs are also rising due to the elevated power demands from falling ore grades and the increasingly remoteness of mining operations. Rising energy costs are hampering the competitiveness of the resource sector and the prolonged commodity price low has intensified the focus on driving down and controlling power costs. In addition, the sector is being challenged by increased social opposition and regulatory demands which can be addressed by alternative energy choices. This keynote session will look at how renewables can increase the effectiveness of the resource sector by delivering affordable and sustainable power options.

The keynote speaker Donald Bubar from the Avalon Advanced Materials  presented at  the first day of the congress how and why renewables are beginning to make a sense for miners. Clean Energy and Mineral Industry must work together and look forward to sustainable mining processes.
