Breaking Constraints: Disruptive Innovation in Mining with Michael Raynor and Adriaan Davidse

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
