description | Nowadays, human has been looking
at how the world harnesses renewable energies, with an example at the mining
sector. A strategy discussion about innovation, green mining, is being pursued
by all new modern mines. A great example of Chile as the largest producer of
copper in the world is that they are going into renewable energy by investing a
500-Megawatt solar power, and the plan is to upgrade 1.2-Gigawatt in the Atacama
Desert. Here, we noticed that innovation is still needed, although solar PV
technology has existed for more than 30 to 40 years. Some technical challenges
were evident because the design conditions at which this technology originated
could differ. In Chile, UV radiation is very high, and because of that, the
existing modules have a shorter lifespan. Therefore, technology and innovation
in that area need to be customized to the needs of the specific country or region.
There is a whole range of what be
called as adjacent innovations which integrated into the grand plan of making
the mining sector become more sustainable. This modernizing technology trickles
down to other aspects such as digitization of mining, autonomous vehicles,
electric vehicles/batteries, IoT, nano technology-assisted mining, and water
treatment. Moving forward, it can introduce sustainability concepts in the
overall supply chain of the ‘conventional’ mining industry.
Looking at the concept of zero
waste or a low-carbon shrink. It is also defined as zero-based manufacturing. People
around the world develops systems where several industrial wastes become a
resource for another industry. However, it requires much information sharing
about the waste because its characteristics are not uniform. Moreover, the
quantity and availability are also not very well defined. A robust and smart
information system is urgently needed to make this a seamless operation of what
be called as industrial symbiosis.
Becoming literate is essential to
incubate the university to be innovative and set up many startup companies in
high-technology startups. Recruiting students, recruiting faculty members, and incentivizing
research indicated that we were in the right direction. In the frame time of
10-20 years, people can see the trajectory of a high trajectory of patent
filing. Surely, establishing funding to promote innovation in the community of
transnational partnerships is required. By having a global partnership,
innovation promoted much faster; that is the concept behind it. The investment
of many innovations in transportation, waste management, water treatment, and
energy delivery makes the nation and country as smart as possible. |
