Abstract
En la industria minera, donde la operación de equipos consume una gran cantidad de energía, se utilizan ampliamente equipos impulsados por diésel debido a su versatilidad, capacidad de carga y adaptabilidad a diversas condiciones de terreno. Sin embargo, estos equipos tienen un alto consumo de diésel y emiten gases de efecto invernadero, especialmente monóxido de carbono. Este trabajo explora el potencial del hidrógeno como una alternativa más ecológica en los motores diésel utilizados en la minería, con el objetivo de reducir el impacto ambiental asociado a los combustibles derivados del petróleo. Se discute el consumo de energía de camiones diésel en la minería, así como las emisiones de gases contaminantes. Además, se abordan las tecnologías de producción de hidrógeno, sus ventajas en cantidades controladas y los desafíos en producción, almacenamiento y costos. Se destaca el "hidrógeno verde", producido sin emisiones de carbono, como una prometedora alternativa para descarbonizar las operaciones mineras, ya sean a cielo abierto o subterráneas.
In the mining industry, where the operation of equipment consumes a large amount of energy, diesel-powered equipment is widely used because of its versatility, load capacity and adaptability to diverse terrain conditions. However, this equipment has a high diesel consumption and emits greenhouse gases, especially carbon monoxide. This paper explores the potential of hydrogen as a greener alternative to diesel engines used in mining, with the aim of reducing the environmental impact associated with petroleum-based fuels. The energy consumption of diesel trucks in mining is discussed, as well as the emissions of polluting gases. In addition, hydrogen production technologies, its advantages in controlled quantities and the challenges in production, storage and costs are addressed. Green hydrogen", produced without carbon emissions, is highlighted as a promising alternative to decarbonize mining operations, whether open pit or subway.
