What is Mining Energy Consumption 2021 Report about?
The document analyzes energy consumption in mining for key commodities like copper, gold, nickel, lithium, and iron ore. It finds that comminution, which includes crushing and grinding, accounts for around 25% of total energy usage on average. Diesel usage for mobile equipment accounts for about 46% and electricity usage for mining and processing accounts for the remaining portions. Improving comminution efficiency by 5% could reduce greenhouse gas emissions by over 30 million tons of CO2-equivalent.
