Development of innovative mine energy systems

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Several studies predict that over the next decade economic and regulatory factors will require the mining industry to significantly reduce its energy intensity and greenhouse gas emissions. Currently, mining is one of the most energy-intensive industries with a large carbon footprint. Its significant need for electric power is mostly satisfied by fossil-based power generation (usually coal and diesel). In Canada, a typical underground metal mine is ventilated by 500 to 1000 m
