The global energy landscape is undergoing a significant transformation, driven by power market professionals leading the way like never before in the past 50 years. As humanity embraces electrification as the primary tool to combat carbon emissions, the electrical grid faces the challenge of maintaining its long-standing reputation for stable and predictable output amidst increasing renewable energy integration.

Governments and electricity planners across North America are relying increasingly on solar and wind projects to meet projected energy needs. Yet, they’re faced with a significant reliability gap in renewable output and mismatches with production profiles and demand curves.

So, how can we stabilize inconsistent renewable power to emulate traditional reliability?

In the mining process, substantial amounts of sulphide-bearing rock are often excavated to extract the economic metals essential to modern day living. If left untreated, the excavation of sulphidic rocks can lead to metal leaching and acid rock drainage (ML/ARD), which may negatively impact the environment, human health and surrounding infrastructures. ML/ARD is considered to be the most important environmental challenge for the mining industry, given the high cost and technically difficult approach required for prevention. ...
