Anglo American is advancing plans to convert its fleet of giant diesel-fueled mine trucks to hydrogen power as the company seeks to burnish its green credentials. More than 400 mine-haul trucks could be rebuilt to use hydrogen fuel, with a pilot project starting next year at Anglo American Platinum’s openpit Mogalakwena operation in South Africa. A 3.5 MW electrolyzer will produce hydrogen on site, while the trucks will also be fitted with a platinum catalyst.
