Next steps: In line with the recommendations from the 2014 Workshop, CEEC will host the population of energy curve data on its web site. A secure portal will allow operators to input operating data for inclusion on energy curves, by mineral type. Alternative flow sheet design may be modeled to explore potential improvements in specific energy use. This program will be launched shortly.
