Abstract

This study comprehensively evaluates the integration and effectiveness of green mining technologies within the mining sector, specifically focusing on mitigating the environmental impact of traditional mining practices. The primary goal is to establish a sustainable mining model that significantly reduces energy consumption and minimizes ecological disturbances. To achieve this, the study employs a mixed-method approach, integrating quantitative data analysis from monitored mining sites and qualitative insights from industry experts. Key parameters include energy consumption, greenhouse gas emissions, and reductions in chemical use. The findings reveal that effective integration of green mining technologies…
