The world’s only global mine electrification event.
Things are gathering pace – the major mining companies have all signed up to interim and final emissions targets, which require surface and underground equipment fleets to ultimately move away from diesel while minimising its use in the short term through, for example, hybrid solutions, trolley and alternative fuels. A number of future mining fleet deals have been signed between equipment OEMs and miners focusing on hydrogen fuel cell and battery-electric solutions. In-pit crushing and conveying also has an important role to play to reduce trucking where possible.
Finally, as electricity use increases in mining, the right strategy for on-site energy infrastructure to store and distribute renewable power grows in importance.
All of these topics will be covered in-depth, with The Electric Mine 2023 program offering a platform for mining companies, OEMs, service providers and research institutes to exchange ideas on best practice within this fast-changing sector.
