PUNE, India, 2021-Sep-30 — /EPR Network/ —

The global green mining market size is projected to grow from USD 9.0 billion in 2019 to USD 12.9 billion by 2024, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.5% during the forecast period.  The mining industry is driven primarily by cost savings, and the mining companies are now beginning to adopt new and greener technologies. These green technologies help the mining sector companies to clean up after hundreds of years of inefficiencies and waste.

Factors such as market volatility, rising costs, falling prices of the commodity, decreasing productivity, policy changes, and social justice are important to drive the green innovation in mining technology. Factors including declining ore grades, the resource intensity and the amount of waste generated per unit of the resource are probable to increase the associated environmental costs that will prove to be a constant challenge for growth in the industry. A lot of well-established mining companies are following a lot of practices to reduce the energy consumption in their operations, minimize the use of water, and lower their carbon footprint.
