Cutting diesel out of the system

Renewable power alone doesn’t decarbonise mining.

If the fleet still runs on diesel, the system still runs on fossil fuels.

Today, our operations rely heavily on diesel transported thousands of kilometres across the Pilbara. It is one of the biggest costs and risks in our system.

Diesel is volatile. Imported. Outside our control.

Electrification changes the equation. It improves energy security, reduces exposure to fuel price shocks and lowers long-term operating costs.It turns energy from a cost we don’t control into power we do.
 

By 2030, we will have removed more than 800 diesel-powered assets and stopped burning almost one billion litres of diesel every year.

That’s close to $1 billion in annual operating cost savings.

Cutting fossil fuels is not just a climate move.
It’s a business advantage.
 

Rebuilding the fleet

Electrification isn't a future state. It's happening now.

From haul trucks and excavators to locomotives and support equipment, we're rebuilding the fleet to run without fossil fuels.

More than 600,000 tonnes of emissions have already been eliminated by changing how our operations run. This isn't a trial. It's a transition already underway.

Charging at scale

Electrification only works if the fleet can charge inside the rhythm of real operations.

We’re deploying 6MW fast chargers capable of recharging our 240-tonne haul trucks in under 30 minutes - aligned to the operating cycles of our fleet.

Built for continuous, high-demand operations.

Because if it can’t charge at scale, it can’t work at scale.

Built into the system

Our electric assets don’t operate in isolation.

They’re powered by the Green Grid, coordinated through our technology ecosystem and supported by the people building the transition on the ground.

As operations change, so do the skills needed to run them - from electrical capability to maintaining electrified equipment across our sites.

This is how Real Zero scales: power, technology, machines and people working as one system.
