Project 90 by 2030’s #JustEnergyTransition 2018 speaker, Karien Erasmus – Climate Change Advisor to Promethium Carbon – delivers a presentation on “Renewable Energy Projects on Mine-Impacted Land”.
Mine land rehabilitation offers an opportunity in combining energy generation, soil restoration and social upliftment. This study focused on integrating Renewable Energy generation, restoration of mine-impacted land and economic development in local communities to create sustainable value.
The learnings of the project have been distilled into a practical toolkit. This toolkit gives guidance on the following:
- Rehabilitating mine impacted land for renewable energy generation.
- Utilising mine rehabilitation and renewable energy for socio-economic upliftment of local communities.
- Integrating renewable energy with the needs of the mining sector to alleviate grid pressure.
This practical toolkit will assist rehabilitation practitioners and project developers to optimise synergies between impacted land, the need for energy and local economic development.
