Mining Green

In this episode of Mining Green, Brett speaks to Richard Bach (Chief Technical Officer) from BluVein. BluVein is developing a dynamic charging technology to help with the electrification of mining equipment fleets, both in underground and open-pit operations. The BluVein technology is game-changing technology for the electrification of the mining industry, as it provides power directly to the vehicles when it's most needed (ie. hauling loaded uphill). This enables electric equipment to have much smaller & fewer batteries, saving on battery cost and simplifying logistics compared to battery swapping. Tune in to this episode to learn more about the BluVein technology. Below is a list of the topics we covered in the interview.

In this episode of Mining Green, Brett speaks to Asha Black from MaxMine Carbon. MaxMine Carbon helps open-pit mines reduce their carbon emissions by up to 20%, by reducing their diesel fuel usage in their haul fleets (whilst maintaining production). Reduced diesel fuel usage also leads to reduced operating costs. Tune in to this episode to learn more about MaxMine Carbon.

In this episode of Mining Green, Brett speaks to Graeme Stanway (from State of Play) about the Electric Mine Consortium. State of Play was one of the founding members of the Electric Mine Consortium back in 2020. The Electric Mine Consortium was set up as a collaboration between a number of different mining companies, OEMs, and technology providers to help facilitate the transition to an electric mine. The mining companies include the likes of Goldfields, South32, OZ Minerals, Evolution, Newcrest, Blackstone Minerals, along with OEMs such as Sandvik, Epiroc, ZERO Automotive, and some other tech suppliers such as Energy Vault. Electric Mine Consortium is made up of six different working groups. These are energy storage, mine design, heavy underground equipment, light and auxiliary equipment for underground, and electric infrastructure, and the newest one being surface and long haulage. More info on the Electric Mine Consortium can be found on their website here: https://www.electricmine.com/ We covered a lot of ground in the interview with Graeme, particularly around what the Electric Mine Consortium is doing and why. However, we also covered some bigger questions, such as switching perceptions of the mining industry through decarbonisation. Below is a list of the topics we covered in the interview.
