Description

The Antamina mine is one of the largest copper/zinc mines in the world. Due to Peru’s special geographical location, close to the Amazon forest and a large number of snow-capped mountains, the carbon emissions and climate change effects generated by the mining industry will be more serious. Our group will give environmental assessments and recommendations through learning and studying the carbon emissions and carbon offsetting measures of Peru, China and other large special mines in the world. The paper summarizes suggestions on energy conservation and emission reduction to promote the sustainable construction of mining areas.
