White paper: Building the all-electric mine   Many of the world’s largest miners are targeting major reductions in Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2030 and net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. To reach these targets, mining companies will need to make substantial investments in the key enablers of decarbonization – namely electrification of equipment and transitioning to the use of renewables for electricity generation. In this white paper, Mining Magazine, in association with ABB, take a deep dive into the practicalities of electrifying mobile mining equipment and, by extension, achieving an all-electric mine.   DOWNLOAD THE WHITE PAPER

ABB working with AWS to develop digitally integrated all-electric operations for net-zero emissions mining   As we continue to build our collaborations within the mining industry around our ABB Ability™ eMine framework, we are now working with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to develop digitally integrated all-electric operations for net zero emissions. With this goal in mind, ABB Ability™ Operations Management System (OMS) has already been integrated with heavy-duty EV drivetrain developer MEDATECH Engineering Services Ltd.’s cloud data collection system on AWS, paired with ABB’s fast charging pilot solution, ABB Ability™ eMine FastCharge.   READ MORE
