THE ROAD TO 2050 – Bridging the Gap Between Challenges and Solutions in Mining
July 10, 2020
The production of minerals, (e.g.copper, zinc), may need to increase by more than 200% by 2050 to meet the growing demand for clean energy technologies.
Read this newly released report for a snapshot of the roadmaps and approaches in use in the mining sector in BC. The report also provides a strategic overview of the path to the targets for 2030-2050, and identifies areas where the industry would benefit from further support in order to achieve the targets.
About the Roadmap Landscape Series
CORE Cleantech Cluster and Foresight are producing a series of roadmap landscapes in the six sectors of CORE’s focus. The intent is to provide a snapshot of the roadmaps that exist in each, and how they are being used.
This will help identify gaps in the required elements, as well as places where roadmaps either don’t exist or are insufficient to achieve the government’s targets.

[…] Mining: Mining is a significant industry, and given the extractive profile of operations, it is an energy-intensive process. There is a need for clean energy sources and electrification of operations in order to decarbonize operations, leading to opportunities to advance and/or develop new technologies (retrofit an existing mine to electric, electrification of vehicle engines and equipment, and other cleantech solutions that focus on delivering renewable energy and optimizing energy efficiency mining sites and facilities). Read key recommendations in the mining roadmap report. […]
