Mining Journal Intelligence Global Leadership Report 2024: Net Zero
Mining Journal Intelligence’s (MJI) annual Global Leadership Report delivers unique insights into mining’s priority issues today, based on interviews with 20+ top executives and experts and an industrywide survey.
The 2024 issue – which features interviews with executives of mining companies with a combined market capitalisation of about US$270 billion – focuses on mining’s push toward net zero carbon emissions.
With most major mining companies committed to net zero by 2050 (or earlier), the report examines the industry’s first steps and asks whether meaningful emissions reductions have been achieved to date.
It also identifies the biggest obstacles on the path to net zero – including limited renewable energy and progress in developing low-emission fleets – and the top strategies for hitting decarbonisation targets from mining executives and decarbonisation experts.
Our research cuts through the complexities around Scope 3 and reveals the industry’s true attitudes toward decarbonisation – including scepticism around how realistic net zero is as a goal for mining.
Key Findings:
What do mining professionals REALLY think about decarbonisation?
What are the biggest challenges on the path to net zero – and what are the best strategies for overcoming them?
Have mining companies achieved any meaningful carbon emissions reductions to date?
