Moving industry towards net zero

A large share of CO2 emissions from mines is generated by diesel-powered heavy vehicle traffic in mining areas. When electrifying the material flows, mining companies can take a significant step towards carbon neutrality as diesel-consuming truck traffic is no longer needed at the mines.

Conveyors allow for more efficient water management through dry stacking, compared to traditional wet tailing. Dry stacking reduces the amount of water circulating in the process, as water is not pumped as slurry to tailing ponds (wet tailing). Water is separated at the processing plant, and only dry tailings are transported for stacking. This brings the process closer to a closed water cycle, as the separated water can be recycled back into the production processes, saving water resources and reducing water treatment costs.

Heavy vehicle traffic used to transport mineral aggregate at the mine operates in several shifts, causing continuous noise and dust issues. Sometimes the aggregate must be transported over longer distances from the mines to the processing plant and from there to the tailing areas as a waste rock, making the problem significant. Conveyors eliminate the dust and noise caused by truck traffic.

Continuous heavy vehicle traffic in and around mines increases safety risks, especially since pedestrians are also present in these areas. The safety of using conveyor belts is significantly better than operating trucks, as it eliminates the need for heavy vehicle traffic in the mining area.

With dry stacking, tailings can be stored more compactly, requiring less land space than traditional tailing pond. This allows for more efficient land use. The exposed tailing area can be reduced, and the area can be restored during the operational phase. These factors significantly reduce environmental collateral. The structures of dry stacking are easier to landscape and integrate into the natural environment, simplifying the restoration of the area after mining operations cease.

Transporting material flows with vehicles in multiple shifts at mines requires a significant amount of personnel. The lower personnel needs for operating a conveyor belt system help improve business efficiency with significantly lower operating costs. This offers a more cost-effective way to operate in the long term.
