Mining industry ‘critical’ to future energy transition

Breton Technology Middle East and Australia Chairman Lance Kawaguchi says the mining industry is “critical” to the future energy transition. A prominent tech and manufacturing company is pushing the boundaries of sustainable mining globally through the deployment of battery-electric machinery and advanced autonomous technology. “Our mission is to try to do our part to be sustainable,” Mr Kawaguchi told Sky News Australia. “What we are trying to do is to find solutions ... to still be able to mine but reduce the carbon footprint and energy consumption.”
