There is an increase in the global temperature in last couple of decades by 2-3 degrees and this happens due to global warming. The topic of global warming is talk of town for the environmentalist as well as climate scientist all over the world. The lobby of environmentalist and scientist claim that the emission of GHG gases to the environment is the prime reason for climate change. All anthropogenic activity by human being should be scrutinized and it is the demand of hour. As per the census data India is the third largest emitter of greenhouse gases in the world after China and United States. Thus, it is required to take action against it in order to decrease the emission of GHGs to the environment. Among all the sector, Mining sector is one of the largest sectors in India, which supply the raw material to all the sector and industries and major part of the energy requirement is also fulfil by this sector only. Mining sector not only fulfil the requirement, but it is also a major contributor of Green House Gases. Mining sector requires a huge amount of electrical energy and fuel for mining activity. Moreover, after burning huge amount of fuel and consuming electricity it add GHGs to environment and add CH4 and other gases by its blasting activity. Mineral processing plants also emit greenhouse gases in huge quantity and many other sources for GHGs are also there. Due to this reason emission from the mines can’t be ignored and it is the major contributor. This investigation of the present research work is highlighting the importance of carbon footprint and its calculation for mines as to find out the contribution made by mining activity to the global warming.
