Committed to a Sustainable Future
The Alaska mining industry has made fundamental developments in operations that will support long-term sustainability goals and reduce the environmental impact of climate change.
Focused on Environmental Initiatives

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, and enhanced energy storage.

What Are Net Zero Initiatives?

Net zero basically means balancing out the greenhouse gases we put into the air with the amount we take out. Companies all over the world—including a bunch of mining operations in Alaska—are working on net zero plans to cut down on carbon emissions.

Net Zero and Climate Goals

To achieve net-zero emissions across operations, members of Alaska Metal Mines are exploring and actively implementing renewable energy use, energy efficiencies, carbon offsets, and more.
