The following was circulated by the Coalition for Eco Efficient Comminution (CEEC). Visit www.CEECtheFuture.org for ideas on how to cut your biggest energy use. An independent report released earlier this week shines a light on the global mining industry’s energy usage, illuminating where energy is consumed and linking it with opportunities and pathways to decarbonize. The report, commissioned by the Weir Group, analyzes mine energy use from over 40 published studies, centred on five commodities – copper, gold, iron ore, nickel and lithium. For these five metals, it finds comminution �...
