Miners Could Earn Carbon Credits Through Energy Savings
From the Resource Investor: Miners Could Earn Carbon Credits Through Energy Savings
Mining companies hoping to earn carbon credits could look at possible projects involving methane capture, energy efficiency, fuel switching and transport projects, auditing firm PricewaterhouseCoopers told the Investing in African Mining conference last week.
The auditors’ manager of sustainable business solutions, Harmke Immink, said companies wanting to take advantage of carbon trading should start by measuring their emissions, quantifying their reduction options and drawing up screening criteria that fitted their business strategy.
They could then develop a plan to monetise the asset, she said.
