Breakfast Roundtable: Integrating Power and Fleet Decarbonisation

Integrating the decarbonisation strategies for power and mobility is one of the major challenges miners are facing. Energy and mobility teams are working on different initiatives with distinct timelines to achieve the same outcome of net zero mining. This interactive breakfast roundtable will offer informed perspectives from miners and decarbonisation experts on the complexity and challenge of integrating power and fleet decarbonisation for mines.

• What strategies are miners exploring for decarbonising power and mobility?
• What are the main challenges of trying to integrate energy and fleet decarbonisation?
• How are these initiatives being coordinated internally between energy and mobility teams?
• How are mines estimating how much additional green electricity will be needed for converting fleets to battery electric or hydrogen-fueled trucks?
• What key questions do mobility teams have for their energy colleagues and vice versa?
• How do the timelines match up for power and mobility decarbonisation - i.e. can electrification only begin once the energy source is greener?
• How are mobility teams addressing the uncertainty around commercial readiness for zero-emissions trucks and is this impacting power decarbonisation strategies?
• What new approaches are miners developing to ensure carbon footprint targets are met for energy and material movement?
• What are the biggest hurdles for reaching 2030 and 2050 targets for power and fleet decarbonisation?
