Environment & sustainability

AIMEX is back at Sydney Showgrounds this year, and the largest free-to-attend conference programme in Australia has officially been released to accompany the exhibition.

The centre will enable the real-world testing and assessment of CO2 abatement technologies for reducing greenhouse gas emissions from the blast furnace route for steel production.

The state-of-the-art facility will manufacture zero-emission products for heavy-duty applications in mining and rail.

Their goal is to eliminate the railroad’s emissions in the future with battery power and alternative fuels.

The partnership aims to gain a comprehensive understanding of global carbon emissions and environmental impacts within the mining sector and identify impactful solutions specific to mining operations.

In just over six months Liontown Resources’ Kathleen Valley project, Bellevue Gold’s project, AngloGold Ashanti’s Tropicana, and now Northern Star’s Jundee mining operation have all signed PPA’s for four of Australia’s largest off-grid hybrid renewable energy projects.

AngloGold Ashanti Australia Ltd has agreed to build one of the largest renewable energy projects in Australia’s natural resource sector and to integrate it into the power supply for the Tropicana Gold Mine.

A team of experts from the three companies will work together to design electrification for the Cosmos Nickel Project and will consider mine hauling operations, power distribution, energy efficiency, and power management.

Arca works globally with nickel mine developers and operators to capture and permanently store CO2 in mine tailings.

The issuance of the ECC is a vitally important step towards obtaining a Mineral Production Sharing Agreement with the Philippine National Government.

The change to renewable diesel brings an anticipated CO2 equivalent reduction of up to 45 000 tpy – comparable to eliminating the annual emissions of approximately 9600 cars.

The GHG Alliance was created to bring together mining industry leaders to work toward a shared goal of delivering zero-emissions equipment solutions.

The Terelion Circularity programme for tungsten carbide drill bits at the Rio Tinto Kennecott mine is estimated to reduce CO2 emissions related to carbide drill bits by 64%.

Findings from this research are expected to be published in early 2024.

Proof-of-concept mining haul truck performs to all testing benchmarks, proving itself as a viable zero emission alternative to diesel.
