High-purity iron ore: a key asset for decarbonization
Publications
-
High-purity iron, which was recently added to Québec's list of critical minerals, could play a pivotal role in global decarbonization efforts. Catherine Pelletier, Senior Engineer, Mining and Metals, at BBA, and Isabelle Leblanc, Vice-President, Mining and Metals, at BBA, explain how this mineral can be used to produce greener steel—a key material for the energy transition

08 Nov 2024Other industriesDesalination is vital in industries such as power generation, oil and gas, and mining, especially in water-scarce regions. However, the process generates brine, a by-product that poses environmental, operational and regulatory challenges. Mismanaging brine can increase costs, damage equipment and harm ecosystems. As regulations tighten, industries must manage brine effectively to avoid fines, support sustainability and ensure long-term success.Effective concentrate management from desalination applications

01 Oct 2024All industriesIn December 2022, nearly 200 countries gathered in Montréal and agreed on a series of measures to stop the rapid decline in biodiversity. The urgency is clear: 25% of all species worldwide are at risk of extinction, and in southern Canada, 70% of wetlands have already disappeared. This is especially concerning, as healthy land and oceans are essential for absorbing greenhouse gas emissions. Businesses play a crucial role in this collective effort to conserve and restore nature. But what exactly are their obligations? How can they assess and reduce the impact of their projects on biodiversity? In this episode of The Ingenuity Effect, Vincent Clément, Senior Environment Professional, and Jean-Francois Bourque, Department Manager, Environment, at BBA, discuss these important questions with host Sandrine Rastello.For an industry committed to biodiversity

06 Aug 2024Power and RenewablesMost North American hydroelectric power plants were built decades ago. The owners of these ageing structures are preparing their upgrade and contemplating what scope should be included. Turbine runners and guide vanes are normally included in the list of parts to replace since their hydraulic profile was designed long before digital tools were available. The same logic could extend to the stay vanes, but these are embedded in concrete and, when necessary, must be modified on site. Since this constraint brings additional complexity, what factors should be considered when deciding whether the stay vanes should be upgraded or not?Stay vanes refurbishment: factors to consider in decision making
