Green Gold: How TC is Redefining Mining with Cutting-Edge Sustainability Practices
At TC, the environmental impact of mining and gold ore processing operations, particularly greenhouse gas emissions, is minimized. Our approach is to optimize energy use by adopting energy-efficient technologies and practices. TC has successfully reduced its carbon footprint by 80% by using solar power, hydrogen, and other renewable energy sources for its mining operations and implementing energy-efficient machinery and equipment.
TC’s other key strategy is to reduce fuel consumption and emissions from transportation, such as by optimizing haulage routes, using electric or hybrid vehicles, and performing on-site ore concentration instead of moving thousands of tonnes of material for long distances.
This is crucial in TC’s journey towards net zero and sustainability. It involves reusing materials, reducing overburden, and implementing more efficient tailings management practices. By doing so, we reduce our environmental impact and contribute to a more circular economy.
Additionally, reforestation and carbon offset initiatives are helping to mitigate the carbon footprint we currently can’t avoid. By adopting these measures, TC is not just a bystander but a key player in mitigating climate change and promoting sustainability. This underscores the industry’s potential to make a significant positive impact on the environment.
