Chilean iron ore miner Compania Minera del Pacífico (CMP) has signed an alliance with ENGIE Chile, which they believe represents an important step in decarbonizing the mining industry. The project plans to convert two trucks from diesel-burning systems to dual-fuel systems within six months. There is already international dual-fuel mining truck experience – mines in Mexico, Turkey, Russia, Australia, the US, Canada, etc. – showing the same results. Chilean authorities have approved a pilot project to convert Chile's entire fleet of CMP mining trucks to dual-fuel. The project is in the first phase of development and implementation and will take place at CMP's Los Colorados mine in the Atacama region. Chile and CMP aim to accelerate a carbon-neutral economy through proven technological solutions.
