Panel: Decarbonizing Fleets: The Road to Net Zero Haulage
Information
With diesel consumption from large mining vehicles accounting for up to 60% of a mine’s carbon footprint, there is real urgency for miners to identify the solutions for decarbonizing heavy-haulage trucks. This panel will focus on key developments, challenges and next steps for transitioning away from diesel-powered trucks.
● What are the latest developments in terms of technology readiness and commercialization?
● What different approaches are mining companies and suppliers working on to test zero-emissions heavy haulage trucks?
● What recent progress has been made on transitioning mining fleets to low and zero-carbon?
● Battery operated vs. hydrogen vs. trolley assist vs. hybrid - how do these options compare?
● How can mining companies estimate the additional green energy generation needed for converting trucks to battery electric or hydrogen-fueled?
● What are some of the challenges miners are facing in trying to integrate energy and mobility decarbonization strategies?
● What is needed to support the business case for transitioning to low-carbon alternatives?
