Greenhouse Gas Emissions
In support of Nevada’s carbon-reduction objectives, we are converting our TS Power Plant to a dual fuel process, allowing the facility to generate power from natural gas. This conversion will enable the facility to eliminate about 650,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions per year.
We are also reviewing the potential for building a 200 MW solar facility with battery storage. The intention is to phase construction, initially installing 100 MW that could produce power as early as 2022. A study is currently underway, and once the project is approved, Nevada Gold Mines will work with the State of Nevada and the Office of Energy on permitting.
