At another point in his speech, Luna Cordova said that Peruvian mining must be a key player in its own energy transition, transforming its processes to align with global sustainability demands.
To achieve this, it is essential to develop an ambitious roadmap that considers the energy transition of mining operations, the adoption of renewable energy, and efficiency in the use of energy resources, he said.
In this regard, he said that mining operations must integrate solutions taking advantage of the favorable conditions of our territory, as well as consider the incorporation of advanced technologies such as energy storage through batteries.
Finally, Vice Minister Luna pointed out that it is crucial to ensure that our mining policies align with global trends in sustainability and transparency, so that Peru is recognized not only for its production, but also for its leadership in responsible mining.
