Costs drive Fortescue to dial back velocity of building green #hydrogen mega projects, instead shifting focus to reducing that cost. Ambition to enable the company to compete “blow for-blow” with fossil fuels. #greenhydrogen #energy #mining

Super article for anyone following the exciting progress and developments of DLE lithium projects!

The latest article on Mining.com mention's EMP Metals and highlights the increased involvement of major oil companies like ExxonMobil, Chevron, and Occidental in lithium brine extraction. These developments mark a significant step towards sustainable lithium production, leveraging the expertise and resources of these energy giants. Key takeaways: - Occidental's joint venture to produce battery-grade lithium in California. - Chevron exploring lithium extraction and collaborating on brine technology. - ExxonMobil aiming to power 1 million EVs by 2030 with substantial investments in lithium. Read more about these developments and the potential for DLE technology in the full article attached. #Lithium #EnergyTransition #CleanEnergy

A liquid hydrogen plant at Fortescue's Christmas Creek mine site in Western Australia’s (WA) Pilbara has come online, as part of the iron ore major’s $50m Green Metal Project. Designed, built and commissioned by New Zealand-based FABRUM. the liquefaction plant has around 350kg liquid hydrogen capacity per day and will supply Fortescue’s prototype mining equipment, including the recently delivered hydrogen-powered haul truck. The plant’s commissioning comes as Fortescue said it had started to build the wider project which is expected to produce over 1,500 tonnes of green metal per year, with first production anticipated in 2025. #hydrogen #hydrogenenergy #cleanenergy #cleantech #netzero #hydrogenindustry #mining #miningindustry #heavydutytrucks https://lnkd.in/g2bk_Ks4

Fortescue and Liebherr Group have successfully tested their hydrogen-powered haul truck prototype, "Europa", in Perth. This marks a significant step in their collaboration to develop zero-emission solutions for the mining industry. Equipped with a 1.6-megawatt battery developed by Fortescue WAE and 500 kilowatts of fuel cells, Europa can store over 380kg of liquid hydrogen. This achievement follows the success of Fortescue's battery electric haul truck prototype and brings the company closer to its goal of deploying a fleet of zero-emission trucks by the end of the decade.

Schlumberger this week announced a breakthrough in direct lithium extraction at a pilot plant. DLE offers the potential for producing lithium from brines faster and with higher capture rates than via traditional evaporation from salars. Schlumberger didn’t provide many details, including the all-important one of cost. So in an industry replete with junior miners making big claims, some caution is warranted. That said, Schlumberger is hardly a startup looking for a series A. And if it succeeds, the impact on lithium supply could disrupt the global market (and mineral geopolitics) in a way that echoes what happened with another area where the oil industry has deep experience: shale.

Reliable and sustainable energy is crucial for operations, especially in remote locations. Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) offer a carbon-free power solution, significantly reducing dependence on diesel. By integrating SMRs, mining companies can enhance their environmental sustainability and achieve net-zero while maintaining operational efficiency. PEP can assist in evaluating the feasibility of SMR integration and navigating the complex regulatory landscape. Explore the potential of SMRs to power your mining operations and lead the way in the energy transition.

When we consider the essentials of modern life, mineral exploration isn't usually the first thing that comes to mind. However, it plays a vital role in uncovering the mineral deposits that power our everyday necessities, from electric vehicles to wind turbines. This process is the driving force behind the mining industry and is essential for finding economically viable mineral resources. Learn more about the world of mineral exploration, its processes, stages, and broader impacts on our lives and the environment.
