In his acceptance speech for winning the SME’s 2023 Robert H. Richards Award for his long service and numerous contributions to the science and practice of comminution and mineral processing, Dr Steve Morrell explores the role of comminution in the 1.5 ◦C future. By re-working calculations from first principles, Morrell challenges some long-held beliefs about the extent to which comminution activity impacts global greenhouse gas emissions, and offers some insight in to the role mining will play in a sustainable future.
