Abstract

The mining industry is undergoing a major transformation toward sustainable and environmentally responsible operations. Conventional diesel-powered mining equipment contributes significantly to greenhouse gas emissions, ventilation costs, noise pollution, and occupational health hazards. Battery Electric Mining Equipment (BEME) has emerged as a promising alternative that supports mine decarbonization and improves operational efficiency.

The findings indicate that battery electric equipment significantly reduces carbon emissions, ventilation requirements, and maintenance costs while providing improved working conditions. Although the initial capital investment is higher, long-term operational savings and environmental benefits make battery electric technology a viable solution for sustainable mining. The study concludes that widespread adoption of battery electric equipment can contribute substantially to green mining initiatives and support global climate goals.
