Abstract

Language:

Based on 74 ore-processing plants and their energy meter's coordinates in Zaruma-Portovelo, we determined the energy consumption profiles for each ore-processing plant following the methodologies of Gonçalves (2016) and Cabezas (2016). In doing so, the total energy consumption in comminution processes was calculated. Data shows the rising trend of increased energy consumption for ore processing in Zaruma-Portovelo. Data can be further used when aiming to re-design sectorial reforms towards transparency in the mining sector, in which the reported data could backup the need of cross-sectorial coordination between ARCOM and ARCONEL as well as for strengthening the state in capturing a larger share of revenues from the extractive sectors. Finally, the scientific community may benefit from this data, particularly those working on energy efficiency and prospective energy consumption and planning related to the extractive sector.
