The Element Resources company has consolidated an agreement with the mining corporation Rio Tinto, for the evaluation, execution and installation of a green hydrogen project at the Boron borax mine, located in California, USA.
Exploring the hydrogen project
This agreement incorporates a land lease agreement, establishing an exhaustive investigation into the feasibility of the project by Element Resources, a company based in Houston, Texas.
The project establishes the creation of a large-capacity green hydrogen plant , which would be supplied with energy from an independent solar park, located near the mine. For his part, Renny Dillinger, CEO of US Borax, a subsidiary of Rio Tinto, has expressed his enthusiasm for the project. “This project is nothing more than an example of our continued commitment to decarbonization. We look forward to moving forward with Element Resources on this initiative.”
In Dillinger’s other words, these types of collaborations enable the growing trend in the mining industry to adopt greener technologies in response to the global demand for greater environmental responsibility.
Last year, the Rio Tinto company made plans towards sustainability, after signing an agreement with the Finnish company Neste Oyj. This agreement allowed the mining company to acquire renewable fuel to replace the fossil diesel used in its heavy machinery in the same borax mine.
