You have already seen, heard, or used at home sustainable power sources, including solar or wind power. Without available ores to research and manufacture equipment, we cannot benefit from them. Now, you will also learn how mining is deeply significant to enable a better life to everyone and also protect the planet against hazards like pollution.

The power sector is a technological industry, which matrix has evolved quickly, to carry on with power generation sustainable alternatives implementation.

Within the context of industry power use in general, and by mining in particular, there are opportunities to use potential relevant power consumption efficiency and greenhouse gas emission reduction related to power source replacement, existing facility retrofit, process innovations and products with lower power content and potentially enhanced by industrial operational digitalization insertion.

Mining innovation, as in any other industry, does not happen due to its own development and in isolation.

Quite the opposite, research centers, university, other industries, startup companies, and governments are examples of solution developing partners that are applied with increasingly higher frequency and reach.

Mining companies have enhanced intersectional cooperation group establishment, venture capital funds and other collaboration ecosystems; and small and mid-size mining companies also have innovative solution development to improve their manufacturing processes.

Within this trend, the Brazilian mining has innovated in the search for new solutions to its challenges by establishing the Mining Hub – www.mininghub.com.br.

It is an open innovation initiative designed to every mining chain stakeholder, through the connection among mining companies, suppliers, startups, researchers and investors, fostering opportunities and connections to different mining players. Nowadays, there are around 50 companies associated to the initiative, which is in its fourth challenge cycle.

Mining Hub is a counterpoint for the field, transforming the culture and enabling mining reputation solidification. Moreover, its operation in a neutral and collaborative work environment, with the purpose of knowledge exchange, intensifies connections and collaborations, fostering the field innovation solidification.
