Climate targets have matured from broad, long-dated statements of intent from a few large miners five years ago, to specific year-on-year deliverables against which sitting executives will be measured. This has brought the need for workable emission-reduction technologies into sharp focus and, with that, the viability of the electric mine.

• Is the industry progressing quickly enough on electrification?
• Are equipment providers close to solving the electric heavy-haulage challenge?
• Where is the diesel blind spots in the electric mine?
• How important is the role of remote renewables for the electric industry?
• Which technologies could move the electric mine from novelty to ubiquity?
