UH2 is working on the project, providing the technical solutions and design for a full integrated system of renewable power supply and energy storage solutions for the mining operation, in a way to eventually eliminate its dependency on diesel-based power.<\/p><p>The facility located 200 km south of the arctic circle, operates round the year with a total power demand of 20 MWp and around 144 GWh\/year of energy consumption. UH2 has conducted an extensive study to analyze the potential solutions that can be implemented on site given the load profile, but also the extreme weather conditions. With temperature reaching ~-40\u00b0C during the winter season \u2013 creating not just operational hurdles, but as well accessibility challenges, with limited access only from February to March by ice roads.<\/p><p>The proposed solution had to be feasible from a both technical and economical point of view, with the main goal being to replace the diesel consumption with low or non-carbon fuels and extend the lifespan of the mines.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-6c1dd8b21 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default wpr-particle-no wpr-jarallax-no wpr-parallax-no wpr-sticky-section-no\" data-id=\"6c1dd8b21\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-wide\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-5ad2a705\" data-id=\"5ad2a705\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6edacccd elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"6edacccd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Our integrated solution for a sustainable mining<\/h4>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1190b16d elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"1190b16d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*!

With operational wind sites in the proximity, wind production numbers can be verified.<\/p><p>Apart from that, ground and off-grid, foldable solar solutions were also presented to complement the wind power at site, for a more even production profile and to minimize the need for energy storage, including analysis to the local ground conditions and design the general layout and foundations.<\/p><p>On the basis of topographic data of the available mines, new innovative energy underwater storage was also designed for the site for long term periodic capacity. This solution would, in contrast to batteries, not be very much affected by harsh, cold environment, and can hold larger volumes of energy for longer periods.<\/p><p>As a complement, the possibility for local production of both green hydrogen and green ammonia where evaluated, both to direct power to heavy duty machinery, but also for a full sustainable system.

In summary, an open format solution.<\/p><p>This project reflects UH2\u2019s and Universal Kraft\u2019s ability to create off grid solutions for both industrial sites as well as off grid communities,

diamond mining. It consists of a floating platform, an underwater mining crawler and a land based dewatering plant. A new innovative solution which originated from deep sea mining and trenching systems allows taking the next step in the future of diamond-bearing kimberlite mining.<\/p><p>The starting point for the development of the underwater remote mining system was to economically extract kimberlite from marginal kimberlite pipes and from deep extents of completed open pits. An important focus is to develop a mining solution that has a much lower environmental impact than conventional mining methods. As the URM crawler is only mining the kimberlite ore and minimal waste, it significantly reduces the mine\u2019s footprint. The URM solution could allow the mine to extend its lifetime by at least 10 years.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ddc354a e-flex e-con-boxed wpr-particle-no wpr-jarallax-no wpr-parallax-no wpr-sticky-section-no e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"ddc354a\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0a1a93c elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"0a1a93c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" src=\"https:\/\/dev.uh2.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/salina-turda-salt-mine-romania-2-1-1024x576.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-4779\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dev.uh2.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/salina-turda-salt-mine-romania-2-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/dev.uh2.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/salina-turda-salt-mine-romania-2-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dev.uh2.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/salina-turda-salt-mine-romania-2-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dev.uh2.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/salina-turda-salt-mine-romania-2-1-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/dev.uh2.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/salina-turda-salt-mine-romania-2-1.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Illustrative image<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"featured_media":4776,"template":"elementor_canvas","project-categorie":[],"class_list":["post-4774","project","type-project","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev.uh2.eu\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project\/4774","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev.uh2.eu\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev.uh2.eu\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/project"}],"version-history":[{"count":85,"href":"https:\/\/dev.uh2.eu\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project\/4774\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8724,"href":"https:\/\/dev.uh2.eu\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project\/4774\/revisions\/8724"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dev.uh2.eu\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4776"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev.uh2.eu\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4774"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"project-categorie","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dev.uh2.eu\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project-categorie?post=4774"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
