Our society wants to adopt carbon-neutral technologies to mitigate global warming while blaming the mining industry for environmental disruption. With the increasing demand of metals primarily driven by human being’s lifestyle, a continuous supply of metals to our society can only be achieved by mining more mineral resources.
This first in a series of seven lectures, the Lundin-Snider Seminar Series (mining.arizona...) was held by Adam C. Simon, Arthur F. Thurnau Professor of Earth & Environmental Sciences at the University of Michigan. In this presentation, Adam Simon contextualizes carbon neutrality through the lens of the metal resources required to transition from a global energy infrastructure dependent on coal, natural gas, and oil, to one entirely reliant on a combination of photovoltaic solar, wind turbines and battery storage.
