Clean Long-duration Energy Storage ideal for Renewable Energy Plus Storage Solutions in Mining Microgrids

arnbethnic
Reliable, cost-effective energy supply 24×7 is an essential resource for successful mining operations, whether grid-connected or off-grid.  In Africa, reliability of utility-sourced electricity is becoming more and more of a challenge, while off-grid diesel generation and the cost and logistics of fuel supply is increasingly problematic.  And in both scenarios, the CO2 footprint and increasing carbon tax needs to be considered.  The mining industry is therefore exploring the option of solar energy to partially substitute energy from current sources; however, solar energy on its own cannot be utilised 24×7 in… Read More Here

It kind of crashed between January and March,… Read More Here

Speaking in Parliament, Tuesday, Musukwa observed that resources being realised from the mining sector should be invested in the agriculture sector, among others. “It is good to know that Zambia’s comparative advantage is our mineral endowment so we need… Read More Here
