On an afternoon lit with the hope of a sustainable future, I sat down with the CEO of PARTICULAS SpA, a leading company at the forefront of environmental technology. Our conversation covered the challenges and opportunities facing critical sectors such as mining, energy, and industry in 2024, especially in the context of Chile, a country rich in resources and environmental challenges. Nuestra conversación abarcó los retos y las oportunidades que enfrentan sectores críticos como la minería, la energía y la industria en 2024, especialmente en el contexto de Chile, un país rico en recursos y desafíos ambientales.
Challenges in Air Quality and Climate Change
“The main challenge,” Alonso Díaz began, “is undoubtedly the reduction of pollutant emissions. In the mining sector, we are implementing advanced technologies for the monitoring of dust abatement efficiencies, carbon footprint management, and greenhouse gas inventories. But it’s not enough. We must move towards cleaner extraction and processing practices.”
Chile faces increasing pressure to comply with stricter environmental standards The CEO nodded, “It’s a difficult path, but essential. In the energy, mining, and industrial sectors, for example, we are carrying out the service of smart monitoring and forecasting of air quality to improve operational and environmental KPIs.” We use our MIMAire® platform.

Collaboration as Key
A crucial piece of the puzzle is collaboration. “No company can face these challenges alone. We’re working in alliances with other industries, the government, and academia. Together, we can accelerate the development of solutions and create policies that support sustainability.”
The CEO emphasized the importance of education and public awareness. “We need everyone to understand and commit to these issues. From workers in our clients to the end consumers.”
Looking to the Future
As we concluded our conversation, the CEO reflected on the future. “2024 is just a milestone on a longer journey. We’re committed not only to complying with regulations but to being leaders in the transition to a cleaner and more sustainable world. The challenges are huge, but the opportunities are even greater.”
