MINING & CRITICAL MINERALS DECARBONIZATION
Facet Power's Mining &Critical Minerals Decarbonization Ecosystems
A resilient, decarbonized mining industry is essential to meeting global energy transition goals. Facet Power's Mining and Critical Minerals Decarbonization Ecosystems reduce the carbon intensity, environmental impact, and business risk vulnerabilities of mining operations, preparing the industry for net zero operations and the hard work of moving the world to zero emissions energy ahead.
Carbon Negative Energy Security Solutions:
By converting locally available encroachment bush and alien invasive species waste into energy, we provide mining operations with a reliable and sustainable energy source, enhancing energy security and reducing reliance on fossil fuels while addressing the encroachment bush food, water, and national security emergency.
Zero Emissions Heavy-Duty Fueling:
Our ecosystems support the transition to zero emissions by offering greener than green bio-hydrogen solutions for heavy-duty fueling, EV charging for mining equipment & light duty, and low carbon biofuels, significantly reducing the carbon footprint of mining activities.
High Impact Biochar Mine Reclamation
Utilizing biochar for mine reclamation, we transform long-term environmental liabilities into valuable natural capital assets, remediating, speeding restoration, and bringing soils, biodiversity, and ecosystem services back to health to do the important work of pulling down and storing carbon.
Climate Adaptation
By utilizing waste from removal of encroachment bush and alien invasives, we help stop desertification, restore ecosystems, and recharge ground water supplies.
Early Access to Hydrogen Low Pressure Storage & Sustainable Battery Applications
Through Facet Power's partnership with Goodwin Technologies, Facet's Mining & Critical Mineral Decarbonization EcoSystems partners have priority access to Goodwin's Next Generation zero emissions mobility innovations designed to transform the carbon intensity, cost, performance, and ease of access of zero emissions and low carbon fuels.

Namibia Mining & Critical Minerals Decarbonization EcoSystem: Creating Climate Resilient Food Systems with Critical Mineral Decarbonization transforms the dire environmental, food & water security, biodiversity, and economic challenges posed by encroachment bush desertification into engines of economic development and climate resilience in Namibia.
2-6MW projects in this portfolio provide sustainable energy solutions specifically tailored for mining operations to reduce dependence on fossil fuels, minimize carbon footprint, provide business operations continuity, and meet decarbonization targets driven by investor mandates.
Key Objectives:
Carbon Negative Continuous Energy Supply: carbon-negative electricity to support business continuity, reduce Scope 2 emissions, and control costs
Natural Capital Restoration: biochar application as encroachment bush removal aftercare reduces risk of recurrence, contributing to sustained agricultural security, biodiversity preservation, and water conservation.
Agricultural Enhancement: biochar to replenish soil health depleted by encroachment bush, improving agricultural productivity, supporting local farmer livelihoods, and enhancing food, water, and economic security.
Carbon Intensity Reduction: Renewable energy reduces the carbon intensity of: mining companies; critical minerals necessary for the energy transition; Scope 3 emissions of the energy transition manufacturing value chain and investment community.
Water Conservation: Encroachment bush removal and biochar soil amendment improves soil structure and water retention, providing opportunities for ground water recharge.
Carbon Removal: Biochar CDR removes 15,000 to 50,000 tons CO2 per project per year and is placed in a manner to catalyze additional nature-based removals and ecosystem services.

Namibia Mining & Critical Minerals Decarbonization EcoSystem: Accelerating the Energy Transition, Reversing Desertification
provides immediate decarbonization benefits while building the bridge to zero-emissions heavy-duty equipment adoption, significantly reducing the sector's carbon footprint.
Phase 1: Carbon negative electricity to supply operations.
Phase 2: Greener than green bio-hydrogen transitions heavy duty equipment and transportation to zero emissions.
Phase 3: Biochar-based landscape restoration of closed and abandoned sites to remove carbon, stimulate ecosystems services and additional nature-based removals.
Phase 4: Incorporation of Goodwin Technologies low pressure storage to optimize efficiency and economic performance.
Key Objectives:
Zero-Emissions Energy: Supplying bio-hydrogen enables mining operations to transition to zero-emissions heavy-duty equipment and vehicles lowering scope 1-3 greenhouse gas emissions for the company and its value chain.
Environmental Restoration: Biochar and regenerative plantings clean and close mined areas promoting soil rehabilitation, landscape restoration, biodiversity protection, enhanced ecosystem services, nature-based carbon drawdown, creating new sources of natural capital asset revenue.
Sustainable Resource Utilization: The project leverages Namibia's abundant encroachment bush, turning a significant environmental challenge into an opportunity for sustainable development and decarbonization within the mining sector.
Economic Benefits: Job creation, new product and service value chains, and new energy capacity stimulate economic development. Returning contaminated mining sites to productive use project increases ecosystem services and economic value of area.
