Companies as vehicles for reconciliation

In Canada, September 30 marks National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. It’s a time to honour the missing children and survivors of residential schools as well as their families and communities. Commemorating this tragic period in our history is an essential step in the reconciliation process with First Nations, Inuit and Métis people. Although companies have made progress in reconciling with Indigenous peoples, much work remains. How can we forge lasting relationships and partnerships to help build a better, fairer future for everyone? Mickel Robertson, Director of Economic and Strategic Affairs for the Innu Takuaikan Uashat Mak Mani-utenam community, and Charles Regimbald, BBA Sept-Îles Office Director, answer Sandrine Rastello's questions in this episode of The ingenuity effect.

Wind power meeting challenges of low-carbon energy demand

At the end of May, Hydro-Québec's initiative to spearhead the construction and operation of large-scale wind farms injected new momentum into Quebec's wind energy sector. By 2035, the utility plans to add over 10,000 megawatts of new wind power capacity to its grid, at an equivalent annual deployment rate ranging from 1,000 to 1,500 MW.

How can energy efficiency support decarbonization efforts?

Companies in the industrial sector have long sought to optimize their operating costs and facilities. These issues become especially critical when facilities are in remote areas, and even more so in northern territories where operating costs are very high. To meet environmental objectives set by various levels of government and combat global warming, the focus is now on lowering greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Industrial companies are also seeking to stand out from the crowd by offering value-added, eco-mindful production methods, thereby minimizing their environmental impact and reducing their carbon footprint to enhance their image. In this context, energy efficiency is a pivotal lever for creating low-carbon systems.

Mining 4.0: digital technology, an ally to the green revolution

When it comes to reducing carbon emissions, the mining industry has two roles to play. First, it needs to meet and supply the growing demand for minerals that are essential to decarbonization. Second, it needs to make profound changes to reinvent an industry that’s been established for over 100 years and reduce its own greenhouse gas emissions.

Geochemistry – Part II: Predicting metal leaching and acid rock drainage (ML/ARD) chemistry

As discussed in detail in the previous article entitled “Geochemistry Part I: What is metal leaching and acid rock drainage (ML/ARD), and how does it occur?”, ML/ARD starts with the production of acidic waters, often stemming from improperly managing sulphidic mine materials (i.e., waste rock, tailings, ore, etc.). Acidic waters can dissolve and transport heavy metals, such as copper (Cu), lead (Pb) and zinc (Zn), which are toxic to plant and animal life in high concentrations.

Producing iron ore for the direct-reduced iron market

Are you considering producing iron ore for the direct-reduced iron market? Here are four process challenges you may encounter. Today, direct-reduced iron (DRI) only makes up about four percent of global iron ore production. Demand for this product is growing rapidly as the steel industry transitions toward greener processes to meet climate change mitigation targets. DRI is a highly purified concentrate, which typically requires a high-quality resource and the use of flotation processes to achieve the low-impurity content required.
