BRIMM is excited to partner with the MICA network to deliver a webinar exploring the question:
Is There a Path to Decarbonization in Mining?
This event shares diverse perspectives on decarbonization in mining as options for paths forward, as well as myths that may be holding us back. It also highlights the growing potential for collaborative partnerships to tackle these complex challenges, as people, organizations, and society navigate towards shared sustainability goals.
Presenters with experience across a spectrum spanning research to applied solutions will be featured. The focus will be on research trajectories, cutting-edge technologies, strategies of hard to abate emissions, and the role of ecosystem supports.
This 90 minute webinar will start with a brief introduction by our host BRIMM Director, John Steen. A series of 10 minute presentations from experts with diverse experience will be followed by a panel discussion about options for better and faster ways to move forward together.
