Overview of the Research Project
Establishing an immediate response system to pollution risks by visualizing mine environments
In the resource-rich country of Kazakhstan, groundwater, dust, and air pollution from mining development have become serious problems, posing a challenge to sustainable resources development. The “Smart Mining Plus” system is thus being developed to visualize entire mine environments by integrating Japanese mine environment management technologies and ICT. Based on environmental data collected by drones and sensors, risks are visualized and analyzed using digital twins and AI, and a system for immediate on-site countermeasures is implemented at local mines.
The establishment and implementation of a sustainable and environmentally conscious mine development model
Sustainable mine development in Kazakhstan will be realized by establishing a management method that prevents environmental pollution caused by mine development, and enables an immediate response. Furthermore, the international deployment of mine environment management technologies and ICT, fields where Japan excels, will be promoted, and contribute to measures against environmental destruction and for a decarbonized society, which will become the norm for the global mining industry.
