“Drinking Oil" to "Eating Electricity" Tram Drives Zijin Mining to "Green"
May 16,2024
On the Julong Copper Mining Field, electric shovels are carrying out shoveling operations in an orderly and "silent" manner. Dozens of pure electric mining cards are working "quietly", which is in sharp contrast with the "drinking oil" vehicles that "roared loudly" before.
With the continuous promotion of the "double carbon" strategy, these "quiet" and "electricity-eating" big men are gradually popularizing in Zijin's mines all over the country.
At the end of 2021, Zijin Mining had 36 electric mining cards and 8 electric shovels.
In the following two years, Julong Copper, Zijinshan Gold and Copper Mine, Zijin Zinc and Longnan Zijin introduced new energy vehicles one after another to empower energy conservation and emission reduction. As of January this year, Zijin mining enterprises now have 265 electric mine cards, 16 electric shovels and 3 electric loaders. The number of trams has doubled and the increase of mine cards has exceeded 7 times.
The introduction of new energy vehicles not only injects continuous green power into the mine, but also demonstrates the responsibility of the enterprise and the determination to reduce carbon.
Through the vehicle "oil to electricity", while further reducing greenhouse gas emissions, it also plays a role in reducing costs and increasing efficiency.
Compared with traditional diesel-driven shoveling equipment, the plateau electric shovel introduced by Tibet Julong Copper has reduced carbon dioxide emissions by 89% per 10,000 cubic meters of shoveling capacity and saved operating energy costs by about 71%.
However, the pure electric wide-body dump truck adopts heavy-duty downhill braking reverse charging technology. Compared with diesel-powered vehicles with the same efficiency, it can reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 95% and save energy costs by about 89% under the transportation volume per 10,000 cubic meters of ore per kilometer.
The carbon reduction benefits brought by a tram may not be considerable, but the accumulation of less makes more, and the emission reduction value brought by large-scale tram replacement is remarkable.
In addition to mining enterprises, in recent years, Zijin Copper, Jilin Zijin Copper, Xinjiang Zijin Nonferrous Metals, Zijin Lithium Yuan and other smelting and new energy new materials enterprises have also actively carried out the work of "changing oil to electricity" for vehicles. By the end of 2023, a total of 19 electric forklifts, 4 electric commuter buses, 10 simple electric pickup trucks, as well as several electric scissors lifters, electric stackers, etc.
Taking "providing low-carbon mineral raw materials for a better life of mankind" as its mission, in recent years, Zijin's various ownership companies have actively participated in the tide of carbon emission reduction and clean fuel substitution. In addition to "oil to electricity", they are also vigorously promoting "coal to electricity". "Using electric boilers to replace traditional coal-fired boilers, effectively reducing pollutant emissions and achieving energy saving and consumption reduction, has also made a number of important breakthroughs in the promising ammonia-hydrogen energy technology.
The "double carbon" goal is an important part of Zijin Mining's development strategy. In order to fulfill the solemn promise of achieving carbon peak in 2029 and basically achieving carbon neutrality in 2050, Zijin has improved its management capacity on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and energy consumption through continuous management system optimization. Clean energy substitution, energy-saving technology implementation, carbon offset, carbon trading and other combination of "green power", driving Zijin Mining on a beautiful "carbon road".
