Zero energy What’s the hold up?

Hitachi Energy is bringing together a panel of expert voices from across the mining industry for a powerful and insightful discussion on how to “crack” the prevalent challenges faced by mines around the world today. Three major trends are fundamentally transforming the industry: digitalization, automation and the shift from diesel to electrification. Not only are mining operators dealing with aging infrastructure, declining grades, increasingly remote ore bodies and uncertain market conditions, but they’re also feeling the pressure to meet sustainability goals and adopt new digital technologies.

Advancing fuel conversions and digital services to power decarbonization. The evolution of fuel markets, C02 emission trades, and influence of net zero targets present uncertainty for requirements of future fuel portfolios. Demanding fuels, such as biomass and recycled fuels, raise the technical requirements and maintenance needs to operate at optimal levels.

Innovation comes in waves. You need to catch the right one at the right time, and now is the time for the artificial intelligence (AI). Energy sector investments in big data and AI have ballooned by a factor of 10 in 2017. The energy market is facing completely new challenges, and many of them can be tackled with AI.

Electric vehicles are here, and more are joining the roads every day. Hear from expert panelists as they discuss funding options available to install charging stations at your property and how some cities and towns have benefited from being EV-friendly. Learn about how you can be part of the EV revolution, even if you weren’t sure how quickly it would arrive!
