While the mining industry has been predominantly focused on diesel-battery hybrid and all-battery mining trucks, recent developments in China highlight the progress of hydrogen-powered mining trucks. These trucks, utilizing a hydrogen fuel cell-lithium battery system, offer advantages in range and operational efficiency compared to diesel trucks, and they eliminate the need for recharging infrastructure. The increasing adoption of all-battery trucks and diesel-battery hybrids has not overshadowed the potential of hydrogen-based hybrids in mining fleets, especially with government support for green hydrogen initiatives. China has emerged as a hotspot for hydrogen-powered mining trucks, with notable projects like the NTH150 by Inner Mongolia North Hauler and the ongoing development of a 240-ton FCEV truck by CHN Energy and partners. The latest project at the Shengli mine introduces the HT3110E, an autonomous 110-ton truck utilizing hydrogen fuel cells provided by Reshape Energy. Equipped with a robust hydrogen storage system and advanced fuel cell technology, the HT3110E operates efficiently in extreme conditions, reducing carbon emissions significantly. The truck's autonomy, combined with its capacity for high-intensity operations in harsh environments, demonstrates the potential of hydrogen fuel cells in the mining sector. With a total hydrogen storage capacity of 5,052 liters and collaborative efforts to enhance system performance, including vibration resistance and heat dissipation, the HT3110E sets a new standard for hydrogen-powered mining trucks. The successful full-load trial operation and autonomous running for over 600 km signify a breakthrough in using hydrogen energy for heavy-duty mining equipment in China. The project's inclusion in the '1025' initiative reflects a strategic focus on sustainable mining practices and technological innovation in the region.
