The immediate need to reduce carbon emissions in mining and mineral processing is becoming a business necessity and as our exclusive data shows many companies are tackling the challenge head on. The Mining Journal Intelligence Mining Company ESG Index found that 61 of the biggest mining companies by market cap emitted 230Mt of CO2 equivalent emissions in 2023, based on the companies' own Scope 1 and 2 data. This is about 0.4% of all global carbon emissions .
Leaders in the path to green mining The least carbon-intensive producer was Lundin Gold. The Fruta del Norte mine in Ecuador, the company's sole producing asset, had a Scope 1 and 2 intensity of 0.08 tCO2e/oz gold, the lowest of any gold miner in the Mining Company ESG Index.
