At Clear Carbon™, we specialise in supporting mining companies to effectively manage their carbon emissions recording, emissions reporting and emissions reduction. Our team of carbon management professionals have deep experience working in the mining sector, with over 20 years of experience in mining operations and emissions-focused solutions for mining. We have a proven track record of cost reduction and improving efficiency in mining.
1. Complexity of Operations
Geographically diverse sites with multiple emissions sources make data integration and accurate tracking complex.
2. Integration Barriers
Difficulty in seamlessly integrating operational data (IT/OT/IIoT) for real-time emissions tracking.
3. Energy-Intensive Processes
High energy demand for extraction, refining, and transport leads to substantial Scope 1 and 2 emissions.
4. Regulatory Compliance
Adhering to evolving GHG standards (e.g., NGERS, TCFD, IFRS S2) and disclosure requirements adds reporting complexity.
5. Cost Constraints
Financial barriers to adopting renewable energy sources, energy-efficient tech, and decarbonisation strategies.
1. Regulatory Pressure
Increasing carbon taxes, emissions caps, and mandatory disclosure standards
2. Market Demand for Green Metals
Need to supply low-carbon-intensity metals for renewable energy and EV supply chains.
3. Sustainability Commitments
Companies’ Net-Zero pledges and stakeholder expectations for progress toward carbon neutrality.
4. Operational Cost Management
Energy efficiency to reduce costs and emissions, especially in high-energy operations like smelting and grinding.
5. Reputational Risk
Public and investor scrutiny on ESG performance, including climate change mitigation efforts.
1. Emissions Baseline Definition
Establish clear emissions baselines across Scope 1, 2, and 3 sources to identify reduction opportunities.
2. Adoption of Low-Carbon Technologies
Prioritise renewable energy integration, electric or hydrogen-powered equipment, and energy-efficient processes.
3. Economic Viability Analysis
Develop cost-effective decarbonisation pathways using financial modelling to assess CAPEX, OPEX, and ROI.
4. Enhanced Reporting Systems
Adopt advanced tools for real-time, frictionless compliance with voluntary and mandatory standards.
5. Ongoing Performance Monitoring
Implement systems to measure progress against defined OKRs, enabling continuous improvement.
We enable detailed material and process flow mapping across extraction, processing, and logistics operations. Mining firms can leverage this to determine emissions density and intensity at every stage of the value chain.
Impact
Identifies the highest-impact opportunities for GHG reductions, targeting specific emissions sources like diesel fleet fuel consumption and smelter operations.
Clear Carbon™ assists in evaluating technologies like renewable energy generation at remote mining sites, process heat electrification, and fuel-switching options (e.g., hydrogen or biofuels).
Impact
Mining firms can focus investments on the most cost-effective and scalable solutions, with decarbonisation potential tailored to their operational profiles.
With Monte Carlo simulations and scenario planning, we build decarbonisation pathways based on mining-specific hurdles, such as fluctuating ore grades and changing market demands.
Impact
Mining companies can confidently pursue pathways with quantified ROI, ensuring alignment with financial and operational goals.
Clear Carbon develops Compliance Transition Action Plans (CTAP) that align with mining companies’ operational realities and emissions reporting frameworks like NGERS and IFRS S2.
Impact
Simplifies adherence to regulatory frameworks while boosting investor confidence and ESG ratings.
We provide continuous performance monitoring systems to track emissions reduction progress in mining. Features include real-time reporting for Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions, tailored for operations such as haul truck fleets and mine site energy use.
Impact
Enables proactive adjustments and ensures sustained progress toward OKRs, preventing slippage in Net-Zero pathways.
Our comprehensive and market-leading carbon management platform offers an innovative solution to guide your company towards achieving Net-Zero emissions, rapidly and cost effectively.
At Clear Carbon™, we believe the path to Net-Zero starts with clarity, collaboration, and actionable insights. Let us help you simplify and accelerate your decarbonisation journey with solutions that deliver measurable impact and long-term value.
