Three of the leading industry experts sharing their thoughts on how technology can pave the way for a more sustainable mining, minerals and metals future

Being these essential industries in our 21st-century lives, as they form the basis of global economic growth enabling other industries such as renewables, digitalisation, consumer packaged goods or EVs, these minerals are also just as critical in reducing the overall carbon footprint across industry especially where electrification is front and centre in the energy transition. 

So how does such a fundamental and energy-intensive sector make the changes it needs to make in helping to avoid a global climate crisis?
