西澳大利亚州矿场在成本和可靠性方面使用可再生能源,而不是气候政策。 Western Australian mines are adopting renewable energy for cost and reliability, not climate policy.

西澳大利亚州Goldfields地区的矿业公司正在迅速建立后网可再生能源项目,以降低成本和提高可靠性,其驱动力是化石燃料价格的上涨和电网不稳定,而不是气候政策。 Mining companies in Western Australia’s Goldfields region are rapidly building behind-the-grid renewable energy projects to cut costs and improve reliability, driven by rising fossil fuel prices and grid instability rather than climate policy. 北星正提议建立一个大型综合体,拥有风力、太阳能、燃气和电池储存设施,为Kalgoorlie矿区供电,并可能出售剩余电力。 Northern Star is proposing a large-scale complex with wind, solar, gas, and battery storage to power its Kalgoorlie mine and potentially sell surplus electricity. Gold Fields和Lynas也在部署混合系统,有些业务使用70%的可再生能源。 Gold Fields and Lynas are also deploying hybrid systems, with some operations running on 70% renewables. 尽管从政治上从零净目标转向零净目标,但大公司仍维持着2050年排放目标。 Despite political shifts away from net zero targets, major firms maintain their 2050 emissions goals. 这些项目被远程定位,以尽量减少当地的影响,工业领导人强调,经济实用主义而不是意识形态正在推动这一过渡。 Projects are sited remotely to minimize local impact, and industry leaders stress that economic pragmatism—not ideology—is fueling the transition.
