The application of ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) principles in the business world is also starting to be implemented in the Indonesian Mining Industry. PT XL Axiata Tbk (XL Axiata) or (EXCL) through XL Axiata Business Solutions (XLABS) offers innovative solutions that can support mining companies' efforts to implement "green mining" in their operations with a Private Network." Implementing this solution will be able to increase the efficiency of using electricity and gas, thereby potentially reducing carbon emissions by up to 20%.

XL Axiata Chief Enterprise and SME Officer, Feby Sallyanto, said that digitalization in the mining industry sector continues to be developed through various initiatives towards environmentally friendly mining standards. These efforts are realized, among other things, through digitalization, namely by modifying processes to increase the efficiency of using electric and gas energy, diverting it to energy sources with much lower carbon emissions. 

“This step has the potential to reduce carbon emissions by 5% to 20%. "Apart from that, it is also possible to replace diesel-fueled mining trucks with electric trucks or hydrogen-fueled trucks." he said in a release Thursday (21/9).

According to Feby, Private Network is a solution that really supports "green mining" operations, because it will be very suitable for use by mining industry players. This solution is able to support increased productivity through automation, reduce costs by implementing fleet management with IoT (Internet of Things) technology, and can indirectly increase employee safety levels regarding potential work accidents because employees do not need to go to dangerous areas.

Feby added that Private Network connectivity has characteristics that many network infrastructures in general do not have. Private Networks have a high level of reliability, speed and security so they are very suitable for applications that require low latency. This technology covers a very wide area and can support data transfer between network areas.

"As we know, the mining industry is an industry that uses very large amounts of energy, so it will produce higher carbon emissions than other industries. "By implementing green mining with a private network, we invite the mining industry in Indonesia to contribute and support Indonesia's target of reducing carbon emissions by 43.2% in 2030," continued Feby.

The XL Axiata Private Network has been used by several mining industries in Indonesia, two of which are the largest mining industries in Indonesia, namely PT Vale Indonesia and PT Pamapersada Nusantara (PAMA).  

XLABS explained the discussion regarding "Green Mining with Private Networks" at the Nickel & Battery Summit 2023, last August. In this event, XLABS had the opportunity to introduce products and services as an ICT Partner with trusted integrated services to hundreds of mining industry participants in Indonesia. Apart from green mining solutions via Private Network, several Integrated ICT solutions from XLABS were also offered at the event.
