Teck Resources Ltd. said that it will deploy 30 of Caterpillar
Inc.'s zero-emissions large haul trucks at its mining
operations.
On Wednesday, the Canadian mining company said that the
agreement with Caterpillar is part of its commitment to decarbonize
its working fleet of vehicles, reducing scope 1 emissions --
emissions caused directly from its operations and activities.
The two companies plan to move forward through a multi-phased
approach that includes early development, piloting and deployment
of the 30 zero-emission vehicles, with an initial deployment at
Teck's Elk Valley steelmaking coal operations in British
Columbia.
Teck has set a target to reduce the carbon-intensity of its
operations by 33% by 2030 and then to become a carbon-neutral
operator by 2050.
"Decarbonizing our haul truck fleet is a critical step forward
on our road to carbon neutrality and we are pleased to collaborate
with Caterpillar to advance this work," Teck President and Chief
Executive Don Lindsay said.
