EMPowered Heat
for
Mining
We are pursuing the use of EM energy via CTI for the electrification and decarbonization of mining processes, including the drying of mineral ores, calcining, thermal fracturing, and other process heat applications.
EMPowered Heat means:
-
Significantly reduced energy consumption joule for joule versus fossil fuel-based heat
-
Materially lower process specific GHG emissions
-
Lower fugitive emissions
-
Uses clean electricity where available
Acceleware & IMII
Acceleware and the International Minerals Innovation Institute (IMII) are collaborating on an innovative energy technology project to reduce fossil fuel use and greenhouse gas emissions in minerals operations.
This project will validate the potential to use RF energy from our CTI to dry potash ore and other mineral commodities.
This project explores a new approach to drying potash at a much lower GHG emissions level when compared to current processes. Discussions on future projects could lead to the development of a commercial-scale drying platform with lower operating costs than fossil fuels.
