Preface

Good morning, Honorable Governor of West Nusa Tenggara Distinguished guests, speakers, conference participants, and colleagues, I am deeply honored and excited to welcoming all of you to The 3 rd International Conference on Mining and Environmental Technology. The theme of our conference this year, “Good Mining Practices and Energy Transition in the Mining Industry,” is highly relevant and significant in today’s global context. Amid the challenges of climate change and the need for sustainable energy sources, the mining industry plays a crucial role. Good mining practices not only ensure environmental sustainability but also enhance operational efficiency and safety. By adopting the latest technologies and best practices, we can minimize the negative impacts on the environment and surrounding communities. The energy transition in the mining industry is also a vital step towards a greener and more sustainable future. The use of renewable energy and innovations in energy technology can reduce our dependence on fossil fuels and lower carbon emissions. It is our collective responsibility to ensure that the mining industry can adapt and contribute positively to global efforts in combating climate change. I am pleased to inform you that there will be 51 presented papers across plenary and parallel sessions. Paper presenters are from New Zealand, Australia, United State of America, Turkey, Malaysia, and Indonesia. In addition, I would like to convey my deepest gratitude to the keynote speakers: Professor Michael Walmsley, Associate Professor Wahidul Biswas, Professor Mahmud Yavuz, Associate Professor Datu Buyung Agusdinata, Associate Professor Hareyani binti Zabidi, and Mr. Tonny Gultom. I hope this conference serves as an effective platform for sharing knowledge, experiences, and innovations in mining and environmental technology. Let us take this opportunity to discuss, collaborate, and find solutions that can be implemented in the field. List of Conference Committees are available in this Pdf.
