Providing ever cleaner, safer and more competitive solutions is always on our mind – even when we're not at work.
Green Mining
Green Mining is not a fad. In order to meet the targets of the Paris Climate Agreement, the sector aims to reduce its carbon footprint to zero by 2050. That’s a tall order for mining companies, especially in light of their enormous operational energy demands. We offer a wide range of innovative carbon reduction solutions to support them on their path to net zero – both for stationary power supply as well as haul truck fleets.
For haul trucks, they cover everything from engine repowers to hybrid concepts, Power-to-X, fuel cell and fully electric solutions. Our stationary microgrid solutions optimally combine conventional power supply sources with battery storage and renewables. Whether mobile or stationary, mtu mining solutions keep emissions and energy costs to a minimum in optimally supporting companies on their path to net zero.
mtu solutions to reach net zero emissions
In fulfilling the goals of the Paris Climate Agreement, mining companies face a number of challenges, particularly with regard to reducing their CO2 footprint. Discover the path to net zero – with engine repowers, bi-fuel, hybrid concepts, 2nd generation biofuel engines, e-fuels and, in the not too distant future, hydrogen engines, fuel cells and even fully electric solutions.

Fuel Cells and the Quest for Green Power
Apart from renewable energy sources such as sustainable fuels and battery storage systems, fuel cells offer a variety of advantages all their own, as the following article points out.
“There’s simply no alternative to the Paris Climate Agreement”
In a recent interview, Professor Hans-Otto Pörtner, member of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, stresses the importance of quick and far-reaching changes.
