Making Green Mining Less - Science and Cost Reductions

Daily at work, we receive what is known as a TC Daily News Brief that provides to us information about mining around the world.  Here is one article about "Making Green Mining Less of an Oxymoron."

New breakthrough science and cost reductions from the world of cleantech hold promise for making mining -- one of the dirtiest, most inefficient industries in the world -- more profitable, safer and cleaner.  But which cleantech innovations aimed at reducing toxicity in mining, as well as the need for power and water, are best positioned to succeed?  Which companies will win and which will lose?  How can existing players manage risk in the face of new innovation?  Big questions.  We try to address them in a new research report on green mining technologies.  As important as mining is to society, techniques and equipment that were first developed in the early 1900s are still standard in many modern mining facilities today.  Mining is one of the last holdouts of dirty, inefficient industry that's just waiting to be revolutionized by new breakthrough clean technology.  Latest innovations and cost reductions is cleantech hold promise for making mining more profitable, safer and better for the planet!
