Panel: Deploying Long-Duration Energy Storage (LDES) at Mine Sites

What is the current outlook for LDES applications in mining and what do miners need to consider when assessing these technologies as part of decarbonisation plans? This session will provide critical insight on key developments and potential applications as part of the roadmap to zero-emissions mining.

● Why LDES for mines - what do these technologies solve for mining power systems?

● Which LDES technologies are most relevant for mining applications?

● What are the current capacity costs for LDES technologies and how is this expected to decline?

● How are mining companies starting to test and partner on these solutions?

● What commercial projects are in operation that mines can draw from?

● What are some of the technical challenges of integrating LDES in mine renewable energy systems?

● What are the key questions for mines looking to understand LDES as a decarbonisation pathway?

● What are the next steps and key milestones for LDES applications in mining?
