抖阴短视频 needs to act as a disrupter in mining technologies to help solve some of the biggest challenges facing the sector, according to the founder of a green-focused investment company.
Joachim Berlenbach from the Earth Resource Investment Group told delegates at the Future Minerals Forum in Riyadh on Wednesday that the Kingdom can 鈥渟tart from scratch鈥� when it comes to developing environmentally-responsible ways of excavating minerals and metals.
He also called on Saudi-based firms to take on some of the issues holding back renewable energy, namely how to store power captured through solar and other means.
Berlenbach said: 鈥淭he energy for the mining industry, with those renewables, probably comes cheaply in 抖阴短视频 but we need also to store energy.
鈥淗ere is the importance of disruptive technology: how to supply energy through the night?
鈥淭his is what Saudi companies need to work on, how to supply energy at night. That could be through batteries, which requires vanadium.
鈥淥ne of the biggest resources for vanadium is oil. Oil in refineries is polluting and poisoning for refineries but now you can actually explore that oil can actually help in energy from an ESG (environmental, social, and governance) point of view.鈥�
The Future Minerals Forum is a special event bringing together ministers, organisations and mining leaders from more than 30 countries.
Hosted by the Saudi Ministry of Industry and Mineral Resources, is aimed at highlighting the role of mining in Saudi Vision 2030, after the government identified it as the third pillar of the Kingdom鈥檚 economy.
