Centamin’s 2030 decarbonisation roadmap focuses largely on Egypt project

This is a group target recognising that, at present, the company’s sole operating asset, the Sukari gold mine, in Egypt, accounts for 99% of the company’s total Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions and is therefore the focus of its climate transition strategy.

The company’s climate transition strategy for operational GHG emissions reduction comprises renewable electricity, mainly, sourcing clean power for its operation through the procurement or development of renewable energy supply; switching to lower-carbon fuels, together with electrification as an alternative to diesel use applications; and continuous work to optimise and improve the energy efficiency of all its processes.

“Our vision for a low-carbon future is a mining business with sources of on-site and imported renewable energy, reductions in absolute energy consumption through operational efficiencies and creative, new technological solutions, staged electrification of our mobile fleet and increased recycling in our supply chain,” CEO Martin Horgan says.
