ELECTRIFICATION
Fourteen mining and mining services companies, including South32, Oz Minerals, Independence Group, Gold Fields, Barminco Sandvik and Epiroc have come together to form the Electric Mine Consortium aimed at decarbonising the mining industry. The Consortium was built on a 2020 report from State of Play, which covered extensive research aimed at understanding the drivers and barriers of mine electrification, identifying the key enabling technologies and enabling collaboration to accelerate adoption of this technology. The State of Play survey found that 57% of respondents expected the energy transition to be the global trend which would have the biggest impact on the resources industry over the next 15 years, with 89% expecting mine sites to be electrified within the next 20 years.
