As Freeport converts mining trucks to green power, costs unclear
https://www.metro.us/as-freeport-converts-mining/
Copper mining giant Freeport-McMoRan Inc is converting its fleet of diesel trucks and other machinery to electric or hydrogen power, a transition required to fight climate change even though the costs are not yet known, Chief Executive Richard Adkerson said in an interview at the Reuters Next conference.
The mining industry is grappling with its paradoxical role as supplier of copper, lithium and other building blocks for renewable technologies even as operations contribute to global warming.
Freeport, which operates mines in the Americas and Indonesia, has roughly 600 haul trucks – some of which move more than 400 tonnes (881,850 pounds) of dirt per load – and numerous other pieces of equipment.
