Sustainability Progress
In conjunction with Orica’s latest electronic
initiating systems, a number of sophisticated
blasting techniques were implemented to improve
the productivity of customers’ mining operations.
Chemical energy is around 25 times more
effective than mechanical energy for the breaking
of rock. This puts Orica in a position to establish
blasting solutions that enable greenhouse
gas improvements via a reduction of energy
consumed in the comminution (crushing and
grinding) of rock during mineral processing.
Installation of nitrous oxide abatement technology
at some of the Company’s biggest manufacturing
sites has reduced Orica’s annual greenhouse gas
emissions by the equivalent of taking more than
250,000 vehicles off the road.
Orica has joined the Australian and New South
Wales governments to support a world-first
research pilot project. Mineral Carbonation Pty
Ltd (MCi), a joint venture between Orica, the
University of Newcastle and the GreenMag Group,
will establish the pilot plant at the University.
The technology transforms captured carbon
dioxide emissions into solid carbonate for
safe disposal or use in “green” building
materials. If the technology can be successfully
commercialised, it has the potential to contribute
to a meaningful reduction in both Orica’s and
customers’ CO2
emissions.
Such innovation continues to make Orica the
supplier of choice and will contribute to improving
the productivity and sustainability of Orica and
of its customers in more than 100 countries
around the world
