CANADA’S MINING INDUSTRY PRODUCES THE MINERALS AND METALS USED TO BUILD SUSTAINABLE TECHNOLOGIES

 

Canada has all the ingredients—sustainably-sourced minerals, metals and energy products—needed for the technologies that are powering imaginations and enabling the transition to a low carbon future.
 
There is a natural synergy between mining and clean technology. Raw materials are transformed into technology that, having gone full circle, assist mining operations in reducing environmental footprints and enhancing efficiency and reliability. These same raw materials also enable the world to transition to a low carbon future.

A report from Clean Energy Canada highlights the opportunity that a low carbon economy presents to Canada and its mining industry, noting that Canada has rich deposits in many of the minerals and metals needed in renewable energy technologies. For example, Canada is home to 14 of the 19 metals and minerals needed to make a solar PV panel.
 
Clean Energy Canada encourages Canada to become the world’s leading supplier of the mining products integral to a low carbon economy. In its report, the think tank points to the Canadian mining industry’s sustainability standards, including the Mining Association of Canada’s Towards Sustainable Mining® initiative, and the fact that it operates some of the lowest carbon-intensive mines in the world thanks to Canada’s energy mix and company adoption of low emission technologies at their sites.

 

 

 

 

MINING AND THE TRANSITION TO A LOW CARBON ECONOMY

Clean energy and “green” products require metals and minerals as building blocks. Water purification systems rely on nickel and a host of rare earth elements. Hybrid cars draw energy from nickel hydride batteries and use far more copper than traditional vehicles. Efficient, lightweight vehicles and aircraft need aluminum as well as lighter composites and alloys involving nickel and other metals to reduce weight and improve efficiency. Clean energy sources such as nuclear, solar, wind and hydrogen use a range of minerals and metals in their equipment and processes.

Because the mining industry is vital to daily life and Canada’s future, its opportunities, challenges, investments and needs are inseparable from those of broader society. Historically, thanks to the industry’s innovation and investment, and the strategic support of governments, Canada has benefited from low-cost mineral and metal products, good jobs and significant wealth development opportunities. During this time, company best practices have resulted in the international recognition of the Canadian mining industry as a global leader in corporate social responsibility and environmental stewardship. Looking forward, as global competition for mineral investment increases, Canada must adapt to preserve its leadership.

 

Solar panels require copper, silver and tellurium.

 

Wind turbines include iron ore, copper, nickel and steelmaking coal
