Creating a greener future requires addressing challenges head-on. Synergies between unlikely partners can turn legacy challenges into unique opportunities. As such, mine land rehabilitation offers an opportunity in combining energy generation, soil restoration and social upliftment. This is the finding of the Community Based Renewable Energy Project. This study focussed on integrating renewable energy generation, restoration of mine impacted land and economic development in local communities to create sustainable value.
The learnings of the project have been distilled into a practical toolkit. This toolkit gives guidance on the following:
This practical toolkit will assist rehabilitation practitioners and project developers to optimise synergies between impacted land, the need for energy and local economic development.
The long term objective of this study is to support and facilitate the development of projects, which will build on 150 years’ mining legacy to ensure post mine life sustainability and a greener future.
