7minDecarbonisation dominated discussions at Diggers & Dealers Mining Forum 2025 with mining leaders showcasing how renewable energy is providing cost effective power for mining operations right now.
Bellevue Gold is forecasting an 80–90% renewable energy fraction for FY26, the highest of any off-grid mine in Australia, from Zenith’s hybrid power system. Recently the mine operated engine-off for 84 continuous hours – powered entirely by 100% renewable energy. As announced on stage at Diggers & Dealers, Bellevue Gold has achieved net zero (Scope 1 and Scope 2) emissions for the first half of 2025.
Liontown Resources Limited Resources highlighted its Kathleen Valley Operation as a benchmark for ESG performance, supported by Zenith’s high-performance hybrid power system.
Minister for Resources Madeleine King MP cited both projects as proof that large-scale mining can operate reliably while cutting emissions.
These examples show that high renewable fraction hybrid power systems aren’t just “nice to have”, they’re essential for competitiveness, cost efficiency and environmental stewardship. With our project partners, Zenith Energy is delivering systems built for Australia’s toughest conditions, proving that low-emission solutions can be both practical and profitable.
