Description
Many mining companies have launched successful pilot projects to test electrification, alternative fuels, and renewable energy solutions. However, scaling these projects across entire operations remains a significant challenge. This panel will explore the hurdles, strategies, and real-world lessons learned in expanding pilot projects into full-scale, commercially viable decarbonisation initiatives.
- What are the key challenges mining companies face when transitioning from small-scale trials to full-site implementation of decarbonisation initiatives?
- How can mining leaders effectively align internal stakeholders—including finance, operations, and procurement—to support large-scale decarbonisation projects?
- What are the main infrastructure gaps that need to be addressed for scaling electrified fleets, hydrogen projects, and renewable energy integration?
- What financial strategies and partnerships can help mitigate the risks associated with scaling up decarbonisation projects?
- What can mining companies learn from industries that have successfully scaled decarbonisation initiatives, and how can these insights be applied to mining operations?
