In this episode, Michael Raynor and Adriaan Davidse, the leading directors at Deloitte, dive into disruptive innovation within the mining industry. They explore the need for a fundamental shift to deliver low-carbon, high-quality metals. They discuss the potential of creating a new market structure, drawing inspiration from successful models like virtual power purchase agreements (VPPAs) in the renewable energy sector. By separating the commodities purchased from the commodities used, they propose a solution that allows companies to pay a premium for low-carbon metals, thereby driving the demand for sustainable mining practices. Tune in to discover how this innovative approach could pave the way for a climate-positive industrial society and revolutionize the mining industry. Themes: - Breaking constraints to create innovation - Disruptive innovation (and the lack thereof) in mining - Creating demand for green commodities and sustainable mining - Innovate to achieve net zero - Accelerating mining innovation through VCPPs - Unlocking innovation in mining - Demanding better for clean technology and the transition to sustainable mining
