This Decree establishes the relevant rules for the environmental protection and management of mining exploitation, benefit, general work, transport, and storage activities. This regulation aims to ensure that mining activities are carried out safeguarding the Peruvian constitutional right to enjoy an adequate environment for life’s development and, at the same time, respecting the free private initiative and sustainable natural resource use.

Consequently, this Decree mandates that companies carrying on mining activities are responsible for the emissions, effluents, discharges, solid waste, noise, vibrations, and any other aspect of their operations, as well as for any environmental impacts. Therefore, companies must adopt measures for prevention, control, mitigation, recovery, rehabilitation or compensation of these effects to avoid or minimise the negative environmental impacts of mining activities.

The regulation also requires that before starting mining activities, companies must develop an environmental impact assessment (article 24) and receive an environmental certification, as well as the licenses, authorisations, and permits established by current environmental legislation.

Additionally, the mining licensee must ensure the timely identification and appropriate management of all environmental aspects, factors, and risks of its operations that may affect the environment. In particular, it must adopt measures to protect water resources, air, soil, flora, fauna against noise, ionising radiation, vibrations, and impacts from improper handling, storage, treatment, and/or disposal of chemical substances and waste. Companies must also take steps to avoid any impairment of the functionality of the ecosystem, biodiversity, environmental quality, human health, and animal and plant health.

Furthermore, the mining licensee must include the project's social effects in the environmental impact assessment. As a result, it must present a social management plan to prevent and mitigate negative impacts and enhance the positive social effects of the mining project in their respective areas of social influence (article 60).

Oil Industry Braces for Years-Long Iran War

Oil producers, traders, and refiners are bracing for a prolonged war between the United States and Iran in the Persian Gulf with little to no hope of a quick resolution. By extension, they are also preparing for higher prices for longer, a theme present at this year’s edition of the Asia Pacific Petroleum Conference. Reuters’ Clyde Russell reported this week that the mood at APPEC was not particularly cheerful as hostilities in the Middle East escalate once again, suggesting achieving peace would be quite a challenge. The Reuters columnist…

Stolen Electricity is Powering Illegal Crypto Farms Across the Globe

Electricity theft is a global problem, and it’s getting more dire all the time. While the problem is most common in developing countries, where grid infrastructure is limited and utilities and state authorities have lower oversight capacities, developed countries are not immune either. This theft can occur in many forms and at many scales, from individuals tapping into power lines to power their individual residences to large-scale and sophisticated theft schemes to power entire cryptocurrency mining farms. Just this week, Mexican authorities…

Iran’s Security Crackdown Runs Into Resistance From Within

Iran's parliament is trying to turn fears of foreign infiltration into law. But as lawmakers work through the legislation, the debate is exposing an increasingly awkward question for the Islamic Republic: How far should the state go in policing Iranians' contact with the outside world? At the center of that debate is Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, who, at least publicly, is doing a balancing act. He has defended the need for tougher measures against foreign infiltration while warning that the current draft of the legislation goes too…

Why More Homes Are Switching From Gas to Heat Pumps

Heat pumps are becoming an increasingly popular alternative to gas-powered central heating systems and are increasingly being used in new construction, often driven by government incentives. A heat pump uses technology similar to that found in a refrigerator or an air conditioner, extracting heat from a source, such as the surrounding air, and amplifying and transferring the heat to where it is needed. As most of the heat is transferred rather than generated, heat pumps are far more efficient than conventional heating technologies such as boilers…
