Tharisa says it is aiming to generate and use renewable electricity and to cut the use of power produced from fossil fuels
Chrome and platinum group metals miner Tharisa is targeting reducing carbon emissions by 30% by 2030 and becoming carbon neutral in 2050.
Last week, synthetic fuels and chemicals group Sasol tripled its target to cut emissions by 2030, as pressure mounts on SA to reduce its dependence on dirty fuel. “As an industry, we must focus on the management and mitigation of mining activities, which by their very nature have an impact on the environment and local communities.”
The mining group will also look to reduce the carbon intensity of fuels used in its truck fleet as vehicles come to be replaced, taking advantage of advances in alternative fuels, including hydrogen and battery electric drivetrains.
