8月31日,必和必拓(BHP)宣布将与卡特彼勒合作开发零排放矿用卡车,以降低温室气体排放。
此前,必和必拓与卡特彼勒进行了12个月的密切合作,共同分析能源需求并探讨如何在必和必拓的工厂应用这项新技术。
为了支持必和必拓到2050年实现业务运营过程中温室气体净零排放的长期目标,必和必拓将提前获得由卡特彼勒开发的零排放设备和学习机会,以确保在必和必拓工厂成功进行部署。此次合作将有助于塑造支持零排放机器和未来矿场所需的流程、技术和基础设施。
合作的另一个关键要素是扩大双方的努力,为采矿业提供支持。必和必拓还将为卡特彼勒的设计流程提供一线操作员和维护人员。

BHP, CAT, Partner on Zero-Emissions Mining Trucks
BHP today announced a partnership with CATerpillar to develop and deploy zero-emissions mining trucks at BHP sites to reduce operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
This milestone is the result of over 12 months of close collaboration between BHP and CATerpillar in analyzing energy demands and the options to apply this new technology on BHP sites.
To support progress towards BHP’s long-term goal of achieving net zero operational GHG emissions (Scope 1 and 2 from our operated assets) by 2050, BHP will have early access to zero-emissions equipment developed by CATerpillar and hands-on learning opportunities to ensure successful deployment at BHP sites. The collaboration will help shape the processes, technology, and infrastructure that will be required to support zero-emissions machines and the mine sites of the future.
Another critical element of the collaboration will be to extend the parties’ efforts to support a more inclusive mining industry. Over the coming year, BHP intends to provide frontline operator and maintainer input into the CATerpillar design process, to support the development of machines that can be operated and serviced by a broader range of the workforce.
