Project Summary
Our project incorporates the power of geothermal energy with the upcoming Sodium-Ion battery technology to produce a more environmentally friendly counterpart to the diesel-powered WABTEC trucks. In this proposed solution, the WABTEC trucks would still be in operation, just with a safer and more eco-friendly fuel source. With operational costs decreased and more time in the mines, this solution is bound to reach and exceed the needed annual mining output.
