Decarbonising mining for a cleaner future

In response to global shifts and market demands, Stantec developed Net Zero Mining—a holistic service offering that helps mining companies meet their environmental, social, and governance (ESG) obligations. Mines need to be ready for the increase in raw materials for the energy transition. We help you on your path to net zero emissions by finding ways to reduce energy consumption and replace current production with cleaner sources of energy.

Even though the movement to net zero is still in its infancy, we’ve already applied our knowledge and experience on projects that reduce emissions and improve a mining company's carbon footprint. We can help you with things like greenhouse gas inventories and audits, energy efficiency value engineering, greenhouse gas reduction road map development, and climate risk and resiliency assessments.

We have the right experience and people to help you replace energy sources at your mine site, whether you need large-scale renewable energy infrastructure planning or design and project management for solar, wind, pumped storage, microgrids, or battery energy storage systems.

READY: A net zero world needs mining

What if the mining industry created zero emissions? The global advancement of the energy transition and decarbonisation will see an increase in demand for mined minerals and metals. The energy transition needs to start with mining, and there are critical opportunities the industry can take to reduce emissions. Read More

REDUCE: Advancing autonomous vehicle deployment with Stantec GenerationAV™

Looking for electric and alternative power mobile fleets for your mine? Stantec GenerationAV™ is a consulting program that draws on our experience of deployment projects, using a data-driven process to remove barriers to autonomous vehicle programs commonly found by clients: selecting technology suppliers, addressing regulatory requirements, and building an efficient roadmap to safe deployment.

REPLACE: Transitioning your power sources to greener alternatives

What is energy transition all about? Most people think about switching from conventional sources of energy towards renewables like wind and solar—but that’s just part of it. The energy transition is a shift in how we produce and consume energy. It’s changing the nature of what infrastructure can do, mitigating our environmental impact, and unlocking potential for a more resilient and sustainable way of life. Read More

REMOVE: Carbon from the atmosphere

We assist with carbon capture technologies, carbon sinks, or sequestration. Natural resource-based industries can utilise land for storing carbon. For example, establishing native vegetation on marginal agricultural land can help achieve carbon-emission reduction goals through plant biomass and soil carbon. Remote sensing—via planes, drones, and satellites—offers a quicker, less costly way to count the benefits of carbon sequestration. Read More
