DeBeers funded for carbon capture research!

De Beers Group’s carbon-capture research at the Gahcho Kué mine in Canada has received a funding boost following the award of a C$675,000 grant from Natural Resources Canada’s Clean Growth Program towards pioneering research in partnership focused on delivering carbon-neutral diamond mining. The project in Canada is part of a De Beers Group global research program that includes studies, not only in Canada, but also in Botswana to allow comparisons between different climates and geology.

De Beers Group has been working with leading academics from The University of British Columbia, Trent University, University of Alberta and Institut national de la recherche scientifique (INRS) on researching the potential to store large volumes of carbon in processed kimberlite through mineral carbonation. With laboratory experiments having already proved successful, the grant will support larger-scale field demonstrations at the Gahcho Kué Mine in the Northwest Territories.

Deal with the KP Elephant!

The Kimberley Process Certification Scheme (KPCS) Intersessional Meeting in Mumbai completed its half yearly meeting three weeks ago. It gave us some time to reflect on why the KPCS agenda is moving so slowly.

Undoubtedly, the KPCS is one of the great accomplishments of the worldwide diamond community of the last two decades. Enormous steps have been made to create a safer, conflict-free diamond trade.

At the cradle of the success was an inspiring cooperation between NGOs, governments and, last but not least, the World Diamond Council, with a huge debt owed to the first WDC President, Eli Izhakoff. Without his wisdom and political skills, his warm personality and engagement to bring about the betterment of African lives, all this would not have been possible.
