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
  • Enhanced energy storage
What Are Net Zero Initiatives?

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.
