BOULDER, Colo.-These are critical times for the mining industry. Even as demand for mineral resources rises, driven by emerging economies, mining companies are under ever-increasing pressure from governments, customers, and other stakeholders to operate in a sustainable manner. Many of the key industry players in the mining sector have developed energy saving strategies and are investing directly into renewable energy infrastructure.
