Decarbonisation: Implementation Issues and Process.

Samso Insight Episode 100: As we progress to a world of clean energy and a No Emission life, the hard path of implementation begins.

 

The hard apart of all the conversation of decarbonisation and a perfect world of less carbon, less emission to no carbon and no emission is the implementation of some real world details.

 

In this episode we have Matthew Bowen and Adel van der Walt from Jackson McDonald and Joe Wyder from DMIRS speaking with Tony Goode. Matthew and Adel share with us their experience in this sector which seems to be a world of smoke and mirrors.

 

The average citizen of the world seem to have an opinion on the clean world. However, they seem to lack the understanding of how that will work in practice. When we talk about the mining sector, there are so many parameters that needs to be considered. Most importantly, mining is a business and if there are no profits, then there will be no mining.

 

This discussion is all about how we are going to have clean energy for mining and how all proponents of this industry must work together to have best practice.

 

There are some real working examples of cleaner energy and this was discussed and discussed as shown in the image below. The example from King Island and Rottnest Island are prime example of how important hybrid power systems are to the clean energy process.

 

One interesting message that came from this episode is that clean mining will consume more energy. Those people that want clean mining need to understand that to achieve the clean power world, there is a need for more mining. More clean mining means more energy will be consumed.

 

Make sure you have a good cup of your favorite beverage and check in on this episode of Samso Insights. AS stale as you may think the heading is, as you watch the episode, you will begin to get engrossed with this stimulating concept of implementing the decarbonisation process.
