Description

In this interactive session, miners will ask storage experts their most urgent questions about how these technologies can effectively address the industry's pressing decarbonisation goals. 

  • How is energy storage, including hybrid solutions, supporting load growth and decarbonisation in Australia? What lessons can be drawn from key mining markets such as China, North America, and the UK? 
  • How are federal and state-level policies shaping storage integration opportunities for mining companies - what incentives are proving most effective in accelerating adoption? 
  • What are the costs of different storage options and what does the future look like in terms of how the technologies are evolving and investment planning for mining operators? 
  • For miners that have integrated storage: What were the key factors that shaped the decision-making process when selecting an energy storage solution? 
  • How is energy storage improving mining operations, power reliability, and emissions reduction goals? 
  • What long-duration energy storage technologies are commercially viable for mining today? What are the main barriers to scaling these solutions, and how can they be addressed to support fully decarbonized mining operations? 
  • What further advancements do miners want to see from storage technologies?
