Each day included keynote speakers who set the scene for the participants prior to break out sessions for discussion. Keynote topics included, but were not limited to, industry drivers for change to best practice, energy efficiency opportunities, innovation in the mining industry and best practice case studies.

Next steps: In line with the recommendations from the 2014 Workshop, CEEC will host the population of energy curve data on its web site. A secure portal will allow operators to input operating data for inclusion on energy curves, by mineral type. Alternative flow sheet design may be modeled to explore potential improvements in specific energy use. This program will be launched shortly.
