Plans are underway to build a zero-carbon new mine in Western Australia.
Mining company Oz Minerals wants its next project in West Musgrave to be carbon neutral.
Oz Minerals Chief Executive Officer Andrew Cole says this copper-nickel project will be powered by a 100% renewable on-site power plant and will feature a zero-emissions mining fleet.
This decision is part of a plan for miners to cut carbon emissions in the lead up to COP26, and strategy that will require companies like Oz Minerals to completely rethink the designs of a mine.
