Green Mining Accelerates with Electrification,Bioleaching & DigitalTechnologies Driving Sustainability|DataMIntelligence

The green mining market rapidly grows with electrified fleets, bioleaching, water reuse and carbon capture, meeting demand for clean-energy minerals sustainably
NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, July 30, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Market expansion in Green Mining is driven by stringent environmental regulations, the rising demand for sustainably sourced minerals critical to clean-energy technologies, and advances in low-impact extraction methods. Companies are deploying waterless hydraulic systems, biodegradable reagents, and electrified haul trucks to minimize carbon footprints, while applications span lithium and cobalt recovery for batteries, rare earth elements for wind turbines, and copper and nickel for electric grid infrastructure. Governments and investors are channeling funds into digital mine planning, real-time emissions monitoring, and circular-economy initiatives transforming resource extraction into a more responsible, low-waste industry that meets global decarbonization objectives.
The Green Mining Market reached US$ 11.2 billion in 2022 and is projected to attain US$ 17.9 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 9.6% between 2024 and 2031.
