How the mining industry is revolutionizing green fracking
Fracking, more properly known as hydraulic fracking, is a time-tested method for mining natural gas, shale, and oil. Since the 1950s, we have started to better understand the environmental impact of “traditional” fracking. Heavy use of freshwater, water contamination and even earthquakes have been linked to fracking. The negative effects of this sort of fracking have almost made it a dirty word, one which the average person associates with environmental disruption and pollution. So is this conception of fracking still valid?
5 ways the mining industry innovates with renewable energy
The mining industry has a reputation for environmental disruption. Diesel-powered vehicles and words like “fracking” create the image of an industry unable to cut emissions. But is this perspective warranted? Contrary to popular belief, many mining companies are taking active steps in cutting their CO2 output and embracing sustainable, modern solutions. So let’s take a look at some of the ways the industry utilizes the latest developments in renewable energy.
Low-carbon Mining for a Greener Future
Emissions reports have shown that in some mines, the hauling equipment alone creates a quarter of total mine emissions. This is a critical area that needs to be overhauled as the industry cuts its emissions and achieves a greener future. So what can be done in the short term and long term? There are two main options mining companies can implement. Firstly, an operation can transition away from diesel to a more sustainable alternative. Secondly, the entire fleet can be overhauled for electric vehicles, sometimes referred to as Battery electric vehicles (BEV).
The Legal Risks of Greenwashing and how to Avoid them
Often overlooked when compared to the automotive industry, pharmaceutical companies are still responsible for 55% more carbon emissions than car manufacturers. Since pharmaceutical companies make life-saving medication and equipment, this issue is often not properly addressed. However, the current trends in environmental legislation mean that medical research and manufacturing companies must carefully consider how they present their environmental disclosures and policy.
