This document provides information about an upcoming workshop on introducing mining professionals to renewables. The workshop aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the mining industry and how renewables relate to energy needs and future trends in mining. It will cover topics like the energy requirements of different mining methods, environmental and social considerations, and models for implementing renewables in mining operations. The workshop is intended to help energy professionals understand opportunities for renewable energy projects that serve the mining industry. It will take place before a larger summit on renewables for mines and is aimed at professionals across industries involved in mining and renewable energy.

1. INTRODUCTION:
In 2010 the mineral sector was responsible for more than 38% of total industrial
energy use and 11% of total final energy consumption. According to recent
research, by 2035, mining is expected to comprise around 15% of the global
energy market. While renewables currently represent less than 2% of mining energy
consumption, if by 2035 renewables reaches an expected global production level
of 40% of total output (according to the International Renewable Energy Agency
(IRENA)), renewables in mining is likely to increase by over 3000%.
WORKSHOP’S OBJECTIVES:
The aim of this workshop is to provide energy professionals with a comprehensive
understanding of the mining industry. Participants will gain a greater understanding
of the operational practices pivotal to the mining industry. Participants will be
taught essential terminology and be provided with a clear understanding of the
key concepts involved. Mining professionals will also benefit from having a broader
understanding of the mine energy issues and how these relate to larger changes
across the energy landscape.

7. TESTIMONIALS
CARBON WAR ROOM (Sunshine for Mines): “Your presentation was delightfully informative and relevant in describing the diverse
mining processes and how they best integrate with renewable energy as well as supporting the clear business case for renewables in
mining - the presentation opened my eyes to both the barriers and possibilities of renewables in mining and reinvigorated my motivation
towards global carbon reduction - much appreciated.”
PANASONIC: “I found Arnold’s workshop to be the highlight of the conference. For those new to the mining sector, it will lodge you to get
the most out of the conference. And for mining veterans, it helps provide perspective and clarity on corporate priorities in the industry.”
BARRICK GOLD: “What you presented was a very sophisticated yet practical review of the mining industry.”
SIEMENS: "With Mining being such an important industry in Chile, I found the course very good in understanding the basic mining
processes and the energy requirements of each of these.”
GAMESA: “The Arnold’s (Energy & Mines’) workshop contains all the mining information an energy company may need compiled in a very
intensive and productive session. Attendees will learn the best way to overcome miners worries, how to size the requirements for each
mine and how to propose renewable solutions for mining.”
RIJN CAPITAL: “Arnold workshop has been a great help in order to understand how our miner customers think and how we can help
them. He is able to explain Mining to newcomers like us and understands as well renewable energy and our issues and needs.”
NARADA: "Your workshop gave me wings to fly over and understand how important energy is to mining and what are the critical
challenges of mining regarding renewable energy usage.”
