The forecasted electric future will require a massive increase in the supply of minerals such as lithium, copper, cobalt, nickel, and Rare Earth Elements, which are essential components of today's EV batteries and renewable energy technologies. Mining activities, essential for our tech-driven lifestyle, pose a significant environmental challenge, contributing to 4-7% of global GHG emissions. Moreover, the production of minerals and metals adds to this impact, with steel manufacturing alone contributing an additional 7% to global emissions and aluminum adding another 2%. To avoid a situation where the energy transition addresses one problem but creates other ones, a new generation of startups is working on ways to mine more efficiently and cleanly. At our latest Innovation Event at Plug and Play Tech Center, we spotlighted startups making strides toward a greener mining process. Speaker Highlights: Liz Dennett, PhD, Endolith: Revolutionizing sustainable extraction methods with the use of microbes. John Mern, PhD, Terra AI: Leveraging AI to optimize the exploration and development of mineral other critical natural sources. Douglas Johnson-Poensgen, Circulor: Using blockchain, IoT, and AI to bring transparency to the materials supply chain. Gideon Schwich, cylib: Innovating battery recycling with 30% lower carbon footprint. André Sobolewski, Blue Skies Minerals GmbH: Permanently retaining CO2 on mine tailings. In navigating the sustainable mining value chain, we’ve uncovered actionable insights and innovative practices critical for the industry’s future. If your organization is looking to lead in sustainability and explore partnerships that drive meaningful change, we invite you to connect with us. 📧 Contact us: energy@pnptc.com #SustainableMining #Innovation #RenewableEnergy #ElectricVehicles
