80% of diesel consumption in open-pit mines is by trucks? Each of the 1,000+ mines worldwide generates 120 kilotons of CO2 annually from transport alone. Experts helped develop the hydrogen value chain to power the first-ever emissions-free mining truck.
The world’s first hydrogen-powered mining truck fired up its engine at the Mogalakwena mine in South Africa, the largest open-pit platinum mine in the world. As mining companies across the globe seek ways to cut their carbon emissions, global mining giant Anglo American is developing this remarkably innovative solution to use hydrogen as fuel to decarbonize their mining activities. ENGIE developed the hydrogen value chain for this proof-of-concept truck, that singlehandedly can eliminate eight tons of greenhouse gas emissions each day.
