Mining is the 2nd largest industrial user of water in the world after the power generation industry. Electricity accounts for 21% of mining supply costs and it is the 4th largest user of electricity in the United States. 5 to 6 billion gallons of water flow through pipes for US mining operations daily. Mining companies continue to come under pressure to reduce their carbon footprint and create more sustainable operations. Rentricity offers mining operations a new solution to move their operations to net-zero energy by recovering clean electricity from the water flows in their operations. De-watering and process treated water can be leveraged to supply clean power within a mine’s microgrid supplementing grid power. This enhancement is a SASB qualified sustainability practice for publicly-traded companies.
