  1. Minerals and metals for a low Carbon Future: the need for ‘Climate Smart Mining ’ Kirsten Hund World Bank Energy and Extractives

  2. Presentation outline 01 02 03 04 1. Why a low- 2. What does this 3. The need for ‘ 4. Way forward carbon future will mean for resource- climate smart’ be more mineral rich countries and mining intensive producer companies

  3. Without metals there would simply be no low carbon 3 future possible … One 3-MW turbine contains  2 tons of rare earth elements.  335 tons of steel.  zinc  4.7 tons of copper.  molybdenum  1,200 tons of concrete (cement and aggregates) Source: (NW Mining Association)  3 tons of aluminum.

  4. 4 Electric hybrid cars use twice as much copper as non-hybrid cars

  5. The Growing Role of Minerals for a 5 Low carbon future Examines the implications of changing material requirements for the mining/metals industry as a result of low carbon energy future. How can resource rich developing countries best position themselves to take advantage of the evolving commodities market ?

  13. 3. . Addressing the carbon footprint of the industry 16

  14. Low-emission technologies: In Innovation and efficiency • New modes of extraction practices • Energy and water efficiency • Methane emission reduction opportunities • Use of smart data • Carbon Capture and Storage • Mostly Industry-led: role for governments? 17

  15. In Integrated Landsc scape Management and pla lannin ing - in inclu ludin ing in infr frastructure • 20% of all GHG emissions come from Deforestation • Grades diminish, deforestation increases • Footprint of associated Infrastructure • Spatial Planning/ resource Corridors Challenge: Requires a leading role from government and intergovernmental coordination 18

  16. 4. Conclusions: Towards a ‘Climate Smart’ Mineral and Metals Industry? • Meeting the Paris climate target will require a radical restructuring of energy supply and transmission systems globally; • The clean energy shift will be significantly MORE material intensive • This will probably open up new mining frontiers with new opportunities and risks • Technology choices matter: Need for a flexible approach • Footprint implications of the materiality of clean energy need to be factored into climate change and mineral development strategies of countries and companies Need for a multi stakeholder approach: Governments, industry, Mining and Metals Community, Climate Change/ Sustainable Development Community
