This panel will provide updates from leading OEMs and mining experts on the various strategies for decarbonizing mining fleets, including electrification, hydrogen fuel cells, and alternative fuels. Panelists will discuss their experiences with these technologies, including the benefits and challenges of implementing them, as well as any limitations. Additionally, the panel will discuss best practices for fleet electrification, such as charging infrastructure, battery life, and cost considerations.
- What are the biggest challenges OEMs and mining companies are facing when it comes to decarbonizing their fleets, and how are they working to address these challenges?
- How are different suppliers and miners prioritizing which technologies to invest in for decarbonizing mining fleets?
- How are OEMs working with mining companies to ensure that new solutions are meeting their needs for performance and productivity, while also meeting their emissions reduction targets?
- What are the latest updates with collaborations with key industry stakeholders, such as charging infrastructure providers, to ensure that miners have access to the resources they need for fleet electrification?
- How are OEMs addressing the issue of equipment compatibility, given that many mining companies operate with fleets made up of equipment from different OEMs?
- What solutions are being proposed to address concerns around the upfront costs of low-emissions equipment, and what financing options are available to mining companies?
