ABB will implement power infrastructure for electric trucks at Copper Mountain Mining in Canada, targeting a reduction of CO2 emissions by over 50% by 2035. This initiative involves constructing and commissioning a rectifier station and overhead line system.
The first phase of the truck system is set for installation by the end of 2021. Copper Mountain Mining estimates that the mine will achieve this emissions reduction through electrification and capacity increases over the next five to seven years.
ABB has previously installed a similar transformer station at Boliden AB's Aitik mine in Sweden, which is the largest copper open-pit mine in the country. This project could influence industry standards for sustainability in mining operations.
