Implication

Techno-economic analysis shows renewable energy may achieve sustainability and resilience in remote mines, highlighting potential significant GHG reductions.

Key Points

The integration of renewable energy sources can achieve energy independence in remote mining operations.
Full transition to renewable energy and electric machinery can cut GHG emissions by over 1.7 million kg CO2-eq.
Techno-economic analysis assessed costs and savings, revealing a positive Net Present Value for all development models.
Implementing these models could reduce diesel consumption by 100%, offering substantial long-term savings.
