This is from the just released annual report from Teck Resources See here . We are always looking for sign-posts and mile stones of the shift of mining towards renewables. This is another good sign-post. Tech Resources is one of Canada’s largest diversified mining company. With these images in this report they are clearly making a statement about the corporate importance of renewable energy. That’s very cool.
In the report they re-affirm their sustainability goals including:
- Cutting costs and emissions with LNG truck pilot
- The SumMine solar/mine reclamation project
- The Bright Ideas energy efficiency campaign
There 2020 and 2030 sustainability goals are as follows:
2020 Goals
- Implement projects that reduce energy consumption by 2,500 TJ.
- Implement projects that reduce GHG emissions by 275 kilotonnes (kt) of CO2-equivalent.
- Assess opportunities and identify potential project partners toward achieving our 2030 alternative energy goal.
- Engage with governments to advocate for effective and efficient carbon pricing.
2030 Goals
- Implement projects that reduce energy consumption by 6,000 TJ.
- Implement projects that reduce GHG emissions by 450 kilotonnes (kt) of CO2-equivalent.
