Cement Energy Environment

25 As a latest and new technology, the Mining companies can use clean electricity supply, by replacing on-site diesel generation. Off-course in some remote areas, there will be high cost of clean electricity supply, but It is important for mines to understand their energy security risks and is to consider renewables as a possible mitigation. Compared to other heavy industries, such as cement, steel, and chemicals, the mining is at an advantage because a large proportion of mining industry emissions are driven by electricity supply. New technologies that support decarbonisation include wind turbines, solar photovoltaics, electric vehicles, At global level, the heads of 193 UN member states prepared a set of 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which is for global development framework available for the society and generations. 17 SDGs are guiding principals for Mining Industries, out of which focus areas depicting effects of sustainable mining practices will be Introduction of new technologies and innovations E ects of sustainable Mining practices Responsible use of natural resources E ective risk management statergies with sound detailing Integration of sustainable practices in corporate desicion making Healthy work culture for employees a ected by mining activities Conservation of ecosystem biodiversity and land use planning Ethical practices and sound corporate govermence Social & economic development of stakeholders with e ective participation Improvement in health, safety and environment performance $8.00 $7.00 $6.00 $5.00 $4.00 $3.00 $2.00 $1.00 $ Blended Average Solar PV Price (S/watt) Annual Installed PV Capacity (MW-DC) Solar PV Installations 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 16,000 14,000 12,000 10,000 8,000 6,000 4,000 2,000 0 Solar PV prices energy storage, metal recycling, hydrogen fuel cells, and carbon capture and storage. Out of the above, renewable resources which are getting a lot of attention is solar photovoltaic power supply. Evidently, cost for photovoltaic solar panels have fallen dramatically, averaging a 10–15% reduction each year from 2010 to 2016. Depending on local utility tariffs, power generation sources, taxes, and other incentives, solar is at or below cost parity with the electric grid as an energy source in many parts of the world.
