The drive toward net zero will increase demand for lithium, cobalt and other minerals many times over. An offshore wind project uses nine times the minerals of a natural gas-fired power plant of the same generating capacity.
Per S&P Global, much of the energy transition is based on electrifying as much as possible. This will require a huge amount of copper which is considered the “metal of electrification.” Translating 2050 net zero goals into the equipment/technologies that will be needed – electric vehicle batteries and charging stations, offshore/onshore wind, solar panels, battery storage, etc. — adds up to a doubling of the need for copper by the mid-2030s. Significant new mining capacity is needed to meet projected demand.
MOSIMTEC specializes in deploying digital twin technology for mining companies. We have done dozens of mining projects, including all aspects of the value chain (mining, processing, supply chain and more), across many mine types, geographies and minerals/products over 15 years. Our industrial engineers and data scientists specialize in advanced mining simulation, optimization, digital twin and analytics tools to help mining companies improve performance. We can help grow and future-proof your mining operations.
