Integrated Water-Energy Management for Mining

Publicly accessible License

This white paper focuses on the intersection of energy-water with the mining sector.

The challenges include that mining is a water- and energy- intensive industry, mining can impact surface water and groundwater, limited water quality sampling occurs at mine sites, and there are opportunities to leverage existing infrastructure at mines for on-site energy generation and storage.

Near-term opportunities include groundwater monitoring, remediation, and management; reducing water and energy intensity through closed-loop and hybrid processing; co-location of energy and mine infrastructure.

Success measures include water efficiency, energy efficiency, groundwater quality and protection, onsite energy generation, economic value.
