Mining’s Mission to Net Zero

Enabling your energy transformation

We partner with mining companies and contractors to lead the Energy Transition to Net Zero emissions and clean eco mining.

The mining industry is undergoing a significant energy transition, moving from diesel to cleaner energy, renewable energy solutions, and several types of alternative fuels. This mission to reach Net Zero carbon emissions is vital for the future of the mining industry and the planet. It’s also a key factor in the industry’s wider reputation with investors, stakeholders, and communities.

We have been at the forefront of this energy transformation for years. As a strategic partner for your transformation, we’ll help you:

  • Take impactful steps towards Net Zero
  • Compare clean energy solutions to find the right solution
  • Switch to renewable energy without compromising resilience and operations
  • Lead your sector and meet your environmental social and governance obligations

Aggreko’s difference: expertise across the mining lifecycle

We’ve helped mining companies around the world take the carbon out of their processes. On every engagement, we combine our deep knowledge with impactful, dependable equipment.

Broad Expertise

As mining specialists, we understand the energy you need to operate effectively, no matter where your mine is located or how complex your need is. We also understand the practical challenges of reducing your carbon emissions.

Outpace the Grid

We’ll help you progress your energy transition at your own pace – not a speed set by grid operators.

Constant Investment

We’ve already invested hundreds of millions of dollars in cleaner, more energy-efficient equipment.

Shared Ambitions

We’re on a mission of our own: to reduce the diesel used in our customer solutions by at least 50% by 2030.

How will we power the mines of the future?

Aggreko can support your cleaner energy movement

In the coming years, thoughtful collaboration is needed between mining and energy companies to create flexible power solutions that transition mines toward cleaner power sources without compromising reliability.

We’ll help you embrace the solutions that bring you closer to Net Zero. Whether you’re creating energy in remote locations or looking for efficient cooling and ventilation, we provide a wide range of solutions with clean energy at their core.


Achieving a Net Zero mine with Aggreko

  • Power generation and electrical distribution equipment including a wide range of natural gas generators to help you move away from diesel. Our gas generators support many types of alternative fuels including associated petroleum gas (APG), compressed natural gas (CNG), and liquified natural and petroleum gas (LNG and LPG). They also include intelligent Lean Burn technology for the ultimate in efficiency–and up to 50% lower fuel costs compared to diesel.
  • Hybrid energy solutions that integrate diesel, gas, or renewable energy for mining operations with Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS). As a result, you can use the energy you create more efficiently, storing excess production until it’s required. This is also an effective way to keep your mine operational when renewable energy sources like solar provide inconsistent power.
  • Renewable energy solutions including unique and market-leading off-grid solutions that combine both solar and diesel power. We help mining companies adopt renewable energy solutions without extensive downtime.
  • Cleaner cooling solutions including air conditioners, heat exchangers, and cooling towers to keep your mine safe without sacrificing your Net Zero ambitions.
  • Tier 4F diesel generators that work in the same way as the cleanest car engines, limiting carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, and particulate matter. Integrated into your substation, generators offer clean, reliable power to supplement or replace grid connectivity.
