100% Clean Energy Copper Mine
Chile’s Zaldívar copper mine is the country’s first mine to operate with 100 percent renewable electricity. The mine, a joint venture between Antofagasta and Barrick, recently signed a contract for electricity sourced from hydro, solar, or wind sources for a ten-year period beginning in July 2020. As a result Zaldívar will be able to replace […]
All Change On Climate
