Abstract
The Mineral and Mining industry is a huge energy requiring sector which demands connections to a viable electric power origin and reference. With the upsurge of these mineral requests and decreasing valued grades of ores, energy aspiration is approximated to sky-rocket to 36% by the year 2035. It is even projected to accelerate geometrically from the fact that sophistication and powering of the mine locations speeds up the stability into the necessity of energy applications and its requirements derived from fossil fuels utilized to generate electricity. This paper discusses other fossilized fuel-based materials for generation of electricity
Highlights
Coal Resource: Coal is a sedimentary-based rock that is either black or brownish-black consisting of carbon and the hydrocarbons
Lithium Resource: Its major application is in the lithium ion batteries (LIBs)which is a high energy storage efficient and density batteries, with long lifespanand friendliness environmentally (Scrosati, Hassoun and Sun, 2011)
It is the perfect fuel for a various kinds of reactor -Molten Salt Reactor (MSR) (Peggs et al, 2012).One pound of Thorium can produce as much energy as eight hundred and fifty tons of coal (Coal Energy, 2013)
