The Westin La Paloma Resort & Spa
The world ’ s only global mine electrification event
We are now at a crossroads with surface and underground mining fleets , as the industry works to meet interim reduced emissions and final net zero targets . A big part of that is moving away from diesel to reduced or zero emission alternatives , whether that be battery , hydrogen , e-fuels or hybrid combinations .
Trolley assist and in-pit crushing & conveying , until relatively recently seen as inflexible or costly options , are now ramping up fast due to favourable economics , while ventures like the Charge On Innovation Challenge and the Electric Mine Consortium are using collaboration to overcome issues like charging strategy and infrastructure .
All of this means that 2023 is arguably the most significant year in the history of mine haulage , as the electrification transition progresses at pace and becomes a reality . Likewise , mine energy infrastructure is having to evolve to support this transformation .
This , the third Electric Mine conference since 2019 , therefore , is a vitally important gathering to bring key stakeholders together – OEMs , mining companies , contractors , consultants , component suppliers and think-tanks .

Michael Bobotis
