How sustainable can mining become? Sandvik shaping electric mines for the future with Julia Bohman Ask, Director Strategy & Market Intelligence, Sandvik Mining and Rock Solutions
You cannot have electric cars without mines. The batteries that power tomorrow’s mobility are built from metals, and with an estimated 8-10X increase in battery demand by 2030 vs. 2020, the amount of battery metals needed will be massive. But how sustainable can the industry that excavates those metals really be? Come and listen how Sandvik takes on this challenge with market leading battery-electric mining vehicles, circular production and a strong commitment to reducing its CO2-emissions.
