Mining companies face increasing pressure to reduce carbon emissions. Soil Solutions’ road improvements provide measurable, verifiable carbon reduction that supports sustainability commitments and required reporting.
Carbon Reduction from Soil Solutions:
Construction Emissions: Soil Solutions’ methodology produces 30-40% less CO2 during construction compared to traditional road building through reduced equipment use and simplified processes.
Eliminated Maintenance Emissions: Traditional road maintenance (grading, watering, material hauling) generates continuous emissions. Soil Solutions eliminates these maintenance activities and their associated carbon footprint.
Fuel Efficiency Improvement: Soil Solutions’ optimized road surfaces reduce haul truck fuel consumption by 10-20%, directly reducing Scope 1 emissions from mine operations.
Water Truck Elimination: Soil Solutions’ dust control eliminates water truck operations that typically consume thousands of liters of diesel annually per truck.
Extended Equipment Life: Soil Solutions’ roads reduce equipment wear, extending life and deferring the carbon footprint of manufacturing replacement equipment.
Quantifiable Results: Soil Solutions provides detailed carbon accounting showing total emission reductions, supporting:
- Sustainability reporting and ESG disclosures
- Carbon reduction targets and commitments
- Green financing and investor expectations
- Regulatory compliance and voluntary programs
Verification: Soil Solutions’ carbon reduction claims can be verified through operational data, fuel consumption records, and third-party assessment.
Additional Benefits: Carbon reduction through Soil Solutions’ road improvements also delivers cost savings, creating a positive business case that aligns environmental and economic objectives.
Soil Solutions has helped mining companies achieve measurable progress toward carbon neutrality goals while improving operational efficiency and reducing costs.
Soil Solutions can provide an Environmental Benefit Analysis that will provide quantified CO2 reduction realized once EBS is integrated into its Haul and Access Road construction and Maintenance plan.
