Mining

The mining sector is a cornerstone of Saudi Arabia’s economic diversification under Vision 2030, supporting both industrial growth and the Kingdom’s global competitiveness. However, the industry faces mounting pressure to reduce environmental impact, improve operational efficiency, and safeguard worker health and safety

Choosing to utilise B100 biodiesel in your operations offers you the following immediate benefits.

  • Cleaner Combustion: Significantly cuts particulate matter, carbon monoxide, and unburned hydrocarbons.
  • Supports ESG: reduces and negates the impact of potential carbon taxes and ESG related penalties
  • Reduced Maintenance Costs: Cleaner combustion leads to lower engine deposits, extending maintenance intervals, reducing engine wear and tear. No soot ensures a longer life for filters, exhaust systems and oils.
  • No Infrastructure Change: Existing diesel engines and storage facilities can run/store B100 with no adjustments, avoiding major capital outlay.
  • Reduced Ventilation Costs: up to 40% of energy costs relate to underground mining and with B100, fewer particulates and no sulphur oxide is produced.  The removal of harmful gases such as Nox, CO and particulates ensure less energy is required to power underground ventilation
  • Improved Air Quality: Lower particulate and NOx emissions reduce harmful exposure for workers in open-pit and underground mines, reducing sick days and healthcare liabilities.
  • Non-Toxic & Biodegradable: B100 is classified as non hazardous, therefore much safer to handle, store, and transport compared to fossil diesel.
  • Lower Fire Risk: B100 has a significantly higher flashpoint reducing flammability hazards in operational environment.

B100 biodiesel is an immediate, scalable, and locally sourced solution for the Saudi mining industry. It offers environmental, financial, and health benefits while directly supporting the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 sustainability objectives. By adopting B100, mining operators can lower costs, improve worker safety, and showcase their commitment to a cleaner future.
