The practical challenge is that mines are high-energy, high-utilisation, long-life operations. Haul trucks run 16–18 hours a day, processing plants consume enormous power, and assets stay in service for decades. Diesel has very high energy density and fast refuelling — so any alternative has to compete on uptime, not just emissions. On top of that, many mines are remote and off-grid.…
