Who We Are
CEEC International is a global, independent not-for-profit that accelerates eco-efficient practices in minerals production.
We champion and build the practical knowledge and effective tools that help mining companies improve performance, adopt better practices, and move commitments into action.
Knowledge
Connect the industry to rigorous global thinking: developing, curating and openly sharing what supports better decisions.
Collaboration
Convene the right people around the right problems through workshops, forums and cross-disciplinary exchange.
Impact
Develop the practical projects, benchmarks and frameworks that help the industry improve performance over time.
Our Work
Whatever Decision You’re Weighing, Start Here
A water permit, an energy cost, a tailings choice: CEEC’s three initiatives bring the knowledge, people and tools to each. Projects sit under them, and some, like mTRL and the CEEC Medal, run across all three.
Active
Global Water Initiative
The Water Wheel framework and mining archetypes: integrating water into life-of-mine planning and context-based decision-making.
Active
Global Tailings Initiative
Transforming the flowsheet for tailings: reducing risk, improving water recovery, and supporting better lifecycle outcomes.
Taking shape
Energy & Emissions
Process-side energy demand and emissions intensity: the renamed initiative now taking shape, home to the Energy Curves tool.
Framework
mTRL
A shared language for technology maturity and deployment risk, adapted from NASA TRL practice.
