Story 1. Redployable Power Solutions for Mines
Earlier this year, Wärtsilä launched the Wärtsilä Modular Block, a flexible and re-deployable solution for sustainable power generation, even in short-life mines. The plant is pre-fabricated, reducing installation time from several months to a few weeks, and making Wärtsilä’s medium-speed gas and liquid fuel engine technology available where conventional permanent set-ups are not. We speak to Mark Kennedy, Business Development Manager at the firm, to get more details on the innovation
Story 2. Diesel Displacement Options for Mines – LNG, Nuclear, Green Hydrogen and Small Hydro
With examples of new mine energy initiatives, the feature article of Issue 16 of Energy and Mines Magazine explores the diesel displacement options beyond solar and wind that are actively being considered or promoted for mining. The article breaks down the pros, cons and current availability of LNG, Small Modular Nuclear, Green Hydrogen and Small Hydro.
Story 3. PPAs for Mines: A Delicate Balance
