Aggreko is proud to collaborate in major mining net-zero eBook
Read Towards Net Zero Emissions eBook
Climate change has already had observable effects on the environment, and these are affecting all of us. The mining industry has a responsibility to be part of the solution.
Recently, Austmine has released the Towards Net Zero Emissions eBook, which looks at some of the technologies, strategies and solutions that will help us move towards net-zero emissions by 2050. This eBook explores how we can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by using new technologies like carbon capture and storage, or renewable energy sources such as solar power.
As a global leader in power generation, Aggreko is proud to be featured in this eBook, with our contribution titled Aggreko committed to helping miners lower their emissions.
Mining is an essential industry for Australia and part of our economy, providing thousands of jobs across the country. But the industry also has a responsibility to be part of the solution for climate change. This eBook provides insights into the latest research on climate change and what we can do as individuals, communities, businesses and governments to help mitigate its effects. It also includes practical tips for reducing our emissions.
Our mission is to drive energy transition in mining operations
Aggreko Australia is the leading supplier of power solutions in Australia and New Zealand. We are committed to providing our customers with reliable, flexible mobile modular power, temperature control and energy services that meet the needs of the mining industry and other sectors. Our extensive range of products includes efficient diesel and gas generators, battery storage systems and solar photovoltaic plants.
The generation of electricity, cool air and heat, while essential to the global economy, can produce waste and greenhouse gases and can present risks to the health and safety of our operational teams and others. We are committed to minimising these wherever possible, which reduces harm to the environment and keeps people safe.
In our contribution to the eBook, Aggreko outlines a range of important factors facing the industry, including:
- Global energy transition drivers: These include decarbonisation, decentralisation, digitalisation and demographic changes
- The benefits of life-of-mine (LOM) partnerships: Through these partnerships, Aggreko can work with mining operations from the very beginning, delivering sustainable operations across the board for the entire duration the site is active.
- Hybrid solutions: These ensure there is always reliable power available until 100 per cent renewable operations are cost-effective and sustainable.
- Aggreko's energy transition commitments: Our metrics have been structured to become carbon net-zero by 2050.
We are proud to be involved in this eBook, which we hope will help educate the broader community on current efforts to achieve net-zero and inspire other organisations to follow suit.
