1 AN ESSENTIAL INTRODUCTION TO MINING FOR RENEWABLES PROFESSIONALS Pre-Summit Workshop: June 28, 2017 INTRODUCTION: In 2010 the mineral sector was responsible for more than 38% of total industrial energy use and 11% of total final energy consumption. According to recent research, by 2035, mining is expected to comprise around 15% of the global energy market. While renewables currently represent less than 2% of mining energy consumption, if by 2035 renewables reaches an expected global production level of 40% of total output (according to the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA)), renewables in mining is likely to increase by over 3000%. WORKSHOP S OBJECTIVES: The aim of this workshop is to provide energy professionals with a comprehensive understanding of the mining industry. Participants will gain a greater understanding of the operational practices pivotal to the mining industry. Participants will be taught essential terminology and be provided with a clear understanding of the key concepts involved. Mining professionals will also benefit from having a broader understanding of the mine energy issues and how these relate to larger changes across the energy landscape. 1
