• Diesel fuel

      • Powers haul trucks, bulldozers, excavators, and drilling rigs.
      • Mining trucks can consume 3,500–4,500 liters of diesel per day.
      • Remote mines often rely on diesel generators for electricity.

    • Heavy fuel oil (HFO) & LNG

      • Sometimes used for large generators.
      • LNG (liquefied natural gas) is becoming popular in remote mines to cut emissions and costs.

    • Electric power

      • Mines connected to the grid often run mills, crushers, conveyors, and pumps on electricity.
      • Increasing use of battery-electric mining trucks and loaders.

    • Renewable integration

      • Solar, wind, and hybrid systems with batteries are increasingly replacing diesel, especially in off-grid mines.
