Shell Explores Mining’s Path to a Sustainable Future

Shell has produced a white paper titled Breaking New Ground: Shaping a Successful Future for Mining, drawing on insights from more than 500 interviews with mining decision-makers worldwide. The study highlights the complex task miners face in balancing commercial pressures with decarbonisation commitments, while at the same time advancing digitalisation and addressing an industry-wide skills shortage.

The paper explores how operational efficiency can help the sector meet these challenges, focusing on measures that enable mines to improve productivity and control costs while reducing emissions. It also discusses the importance of equipment maintenance, digital tools, and sustainability initiatives in ensuring long-term resilience.

Shell positions the white paper as a resource for industry stakeholders looking to understand how mining can adapt to growing demands and contribute to the global energy transition.
