Regarding emissions progress for coal, this begins with deployment of high-efficiency, low-emissions power stations using technology that is available today. Longer-term investments in next generation carbon capture, use and storage (CCUS) technologies are necessary to transition to the ultimate goal of near-zero emissions from coal-fueled power.
BG Mines will continue to reduce its carbon footprint and promote the development and deployment of low-carbon technologies by:
- Conserving energy and reducing greenhouse gas intensity at our operations whenever possible through energy efficiency and other best practices;
- Funding research and development into areas such as agglomeration of fine materials into saleable products in order to reduce environmental challenges, -
- Playing a leadership role in the development of public policies related to energy and the environment;
- Engaging with governments, academia, communities and other stakeholders to support constructive and informed dialogue;
- Building awareness and support to eliminate energy poverty increase access to low-cost electricity and improve emissions through advanced clean coal technologies.
