Environment
Across Alaska, mining organizations are looking to lower local carbon emissions and meet net zero targets through strategies such as developing and utilizing:
- Renewable energy
- Green technologies
- Enhanced energy storage
Net zero is the balance between the amount of greenhouse gas that is produced and the amount that is removed from the atmosphere. Organizations across the globe, including many Alaska mining companies, are implementing net zero initiatives to limit carbon emissions.

Net Zero and Climate Goals
To achieve net-zero emissions across operations, members of Alaska Metal Mines are exploring or already implementing renewable energy use, energy efficiencies, carbon offsets, and more.
Learn how members of Alaska Metal Mines have made steps toward meeting net zero emission targets.
- Reduce carbon intensity of operations by 35% by 2024
- Committed more than $100,000 supporting the Juneau Carbon Offset Fund
- Achieved net zero in 2021
Mining organizations across Alaska have set goals to reduce carbon intensity and net zero emissions. Learn how Kinross, Northern Star Resources, and Teck are meeting those objectives.
- In 2024, Red Dog Operations, one of the world’s largest zinc mines in northwest Alaska, became the first mining site to receive the stand-alone Zinc Mark in recognition of environmentally and socially responsible production practices.
