'Stuck In The Pit’ The Roadblocks to Renewable Energy

Wednesday 24th September 2025 at 4.00pm BST

Join Skarn’s Sophie Chung, and Russell Blades, Independent Energy & Mines Consultant and former Director of Energy and Climate Change at Barrick Gold, as they explore the issues surrounding the mining industry’s psychological and cultural barriers to adopting renewable power despite clear economic and environmental benefits.

Topics explored will include:

• The contribution of renewable energy to companies' interim decarbonisation targets - who's pulling which lever?
• Won't the transition be easier and cheaper in a few years' time?
• Can renewable energy provide reliable power supply for mining assets which operate 24/7?
• What are the psychological and cultural barriers to change?
