LAES case study: Decarbonizing off-grid mining without breaking the bank

In the race against climate change, global industries are urgently adopting decarbonization targets to mitigate their environmental impact. As significant carbon emitters, mining corporations are faced with a mandate for drastic emission reductions within the next decade.

The challenge seems daunting, but an effective and highly affordable solution already exists in Sumitomo SHI FW’s (SFW’s) Liquid Air Energy Storage (LAES) technology.

About this case study

The following case study seeks to assess and quantify the value of integrating this powerful new technology into an exemplar Ni-Co off-grid mine where fossil fuel-based generators typically dominate energy generation. In it, we demonstrate value in terms of stacked savings and revenues, sharing our formulae, modelling criteria and optimization recommendations to help industry leaders build robust business cases that affirm investment in more sustainable energy generation systems.
