Greenhouse gas emissions
Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions per tonne of product are decreasing at both Diavik and Argyle diamond mines. Both sites are evaluating and implementing projects to further reduce emissions. At Argyle these projects are focused on inreasing the proportion of hydro-electric power, which already meets the majority of power requirements.
The majority of RTM's GHG emissions are from the Boron California facility where an energy management plan has been introduced. There are currently 24 energy management projects that are being progressed, and emissions per tonne of product are decreasing. During 2007 RTIT sites undertook audits to identify opportunities for GHG and energy reduction.
