Green mining involves the use of technologies to reduce carbon emissions in mining operations and mitigate adverse environmental impacts.
The primary types of green mining are surface and underground. Surface green mining involves a method of extracting minerals near the surface of the Earth, encompassing strip mining and open-pit mining as the two principal types of surface mining. These green mining services incorporate various technology types, such as power reduction, emission reduction, water reduction, and others. Different applications, including mining and exploration geology, utilize green mining practices.

The green mining market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $9.82 billion in 2023 to $10.66 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.6%. The increase during the historical period can be credited to the demand for sustainable resources, cost savings through efficiency, community and stakeholder expectations, and efforts focused on water and energy efficiency, as well as rehabilitation and restoration initiatives.
The green mining market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $14.09 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.2%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be ascribed to the adoption of a circular economy in mining, innovations in mining equipment, the processing of eco-friendly materials, initiatives focused on biodiversity conservation, and responsible mineral sourcing. Key trends expected in the forecast period encompass the use of zero-emission vehicles and technologies, the application of blockchain for transparency and traceability, the implementation of carbon capture and storage (CCS), collaboration for sustainable mining practices, and advancements in sensor technologies.
The green mining market is witnessing growth due to the increasing demand for surface mining techniques. Surface mining is preferred by mining companies for its cost-effectiveness and safety. The technique includes sub-types such as strip mining, open-pit mining, dredging, high-wall mining, and mountaintop removal. According to Intech Open, open-pit mining is favored for its higher productivity, lower production costs, and safer environment compared to underground mining. Therefore, the rising demand for surface mining techniques is a key driver of the green mining market.
The green mining market is expected to grow due to the rising energy consumption. Green mining promotes the use of renewable energy sources to reduce greenhouse gases and incorporates waste heat recovery systems. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, primary energy consumption in the United States reached 100.4 quadrillion British thermal units in 2022, reflecting a 3% growth compared to the previous year. This increasing energy consumption contributes to the rapid growth of the green mining market.
Major players are dedicated to developing innovative solutions, including green energy accelerator platforms. A green energy accelerator platform is a specialized initiative or digital platform designed to accelerate the development, adoption, and scaling of green or renewable energy solutions. In November 2023, Fortescue Metals, an Australia-based green energy company, launched 'Fortescue Capital,' a green energy investment accelerator platform. This platform, developed as a fiduciary for third-party capital, offers a flexible funding approach with models customized for each project, contingent upon formal approval from the Fortescue board.
Major companies are forming partnerships to develop new products and strengthen their market positions. Strategic partnerships involve companies leveraging each other's strengths and resources for mutual benefits. For instance, in October 2023, UpLink, a Switzerland-based digital platform, partnered with Prospect Innovation, a Singapore-based metals and mining industry company, to explore sustainable mining solutions. This partnership aims to accelerate the green transition in the mining and metal sectors that are challenging to decarbonize, identifying and supporting early-stage green mining startups globally to create an innovation ecosystem fostering their growth and success.
In November 2021, Evolution Mining, an Australian gold mining company, acquired Ernest Henry Mining from Glencore for A$1 billion, comprising A$800 million on the closing of the transaction and a further A$200 million payable 12 months after the transaction closes. With this acquisition, Evolution assumes full ownership and operational control of the copper-gold mine and enters into a copper concentrate offtake agreement and a separate ore tolling agreement with Glencore. Glencore PLC is an Anglo-Swiss multinational commodity trading and mining company.
