Sustainable Mining Solutions for a Greener Future

Overcoming ESG Challenges In Mining

Powering every stage of your mining operations

Mining companies today face mounting pressure to meet aggressive Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) targets and need to look at improved sustainable mining solutions. Governments are tightening emissions regulations, and failure to comply can lead to severe penalties, operational restrictions, and loss of investor confidence. Meanwhile, the risk of power disruptions and inefficient temperature control threatens productivity, safety, and profitability.

Aggreko’s Greener Upgrades solutions provide a pathway to reducing carbon emissions while ensuring reliable, cost-effective access to power and temperature control—helping you meet sustainability goals without compromising operational efficiency.

Achieving a net zero mine with sustainable mining solutions

We partner with mining companies to implement innovative power and cooling solutions that reduce environmental impact and enhance resilience.

Our tailored Greener Upgrades solutions include:

  • Lower Emissions, Higher Efficiency: Natural Gas Power Generation - Compatible with alternative fuels including Associated Petroleum Gas (APG), Compressed Natural Gas (CNG), and Liquified Natural Gas (LNG). Intelligent Lean Burn technology increases efficiency and reduces fuel costs by up to 50%.
  • Hybrid Energy Solutions: Maximize Renewable Energy Usage - Seamlessly integrate diesel, gas, and renewable energy sources with Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS). Store excess energy when renewable sources, like solar, are inconsistent. Keep critical utilities operational while reducing emissions and fuel costs.
  • Reliable, Off-Grid Renewable Energy Solutions - Market-leading hybrid power solutions ensure energy reliability in remote locations. Minimize downtime while transitioning to cleaner energy sources.
  • Cleaner Cooling Solutions for a Safer Mine - Advanced air conditioners, chillers and cooling towers maintain safe working conditions without compromising sustainability. Reduce carbon footprint while improving efficiency in mine ventilation and cooling systems.
  • Tier 4F Diesel Generators: Reducing Harmful Emissions - Tier 4F generators designed to meet the strictest emission standards, reducing carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, and particulate matter. Provides reliable backup power to supplement or replace unstable grid connections.
Secure investor confidence & avoid regulatory penalties with ESG strategies

Regulatory non-compliance and high emissions can put your mining operation at risk of fines, shutdowns, and declining investor trust. By adopting Aggreko’s Greener Upgrades, you not only ensure business continuity but also demonstrate a proactive approach to sustainability—strengthening your competitive advantage in the global mining industry.

Take the next step toward a greener mine

Don’t let power and cooling limitations hold back your ESG progress. Aggreko’s Greener Upgrades solutions help mining companies stay ahead of regulations while optimizing operations for the future.
