Northern District Makes Progress In Incorporation Of New Technologies – World Nation News
The meeting addressed the objectives of sustainable mining, electric mobility and decarbonization of production processes, maximizing economic and social benefits, but also minimizing environmental impact.
,Green Mining and Electromobility Unite for a Sustainable Operation”, was the name of the Great Mining meeting which took place in Antofagasta. Ruins in Huanchacaand aimed to put the Antofagasta region at the center of the energy agenda, with issues related to Sustainable development of the mining industry, electrification of transportation and decarbonization of the energy matrix by 2050,
took place within the framework of the meeting Off-road electric car race with gender equalityAnd those who compete in various extreme and remote locations of the world, and who have met this time in the Atacama Desert in the Antofagasta region, and aim to accelerate the mass of electromobility and thus counteract the effects of changing climate.
initiative, which he co-organized Antofagasta Minerals, Enel X and SQMWhich was attended by the Minister of Mines, Marcela Hernando, bringing together various national and regional actors from the public and private sectors, who debated and reflected on the sustainable development of the Antofagasta region, the challenges of the mining industry, electromobility and Progress in energy transition.
During the day, Alexandra ViallAs the environmental manager of Antofagasta Minerals, the main Chilean private mining conglomerate and one of the world’s 10 largest copper producers, ,We are aware of the important role played by copper in the fight against climate change. Due to its properties, it is a fundamental metal for transition to a new energy matrix. Thus, as an industry, we are faced with a challenge to increase our production and at the same time, do so in a sustainable manner. We have a climate change strategy in our mining group and electric mobility is part of it. We believe green mining is possible and we have a responsibility to provide the world with copper to build a better future.”
The activity included presentations by chief executives of the organizing companies (Antofagasta Minerals, Enel X and SQM), as well as a panel discussion involving participation from regional officials, trade associations (national and local), and company executives. , which discussed electromobility, mining and regional planning.
,This meeting invites us to reflect and work on how to accelerate the decarbonization of our energy matrix, and in turn, how we move towards electrification of one of the most important productive sectors in the country, viz. that mining. In this context, Enel X is already serving as a strategic partner implementing energy efficiency solutions for large-scale mining, allowing the electrification of bus fleets to transport workers, their operations. development of high-tonnage vehicles, infrastructure projects for electricity, and support for communities with photovoltaic systems for self-generation of energy“, he pointed Carla Zapata, General Manager of Enel X.
Once the seminar is over, with the officers and officials, A tour of the electromobility exhibit, which was located on the esplanade of the Huanchaca ruinsWhere electric buses, high-tonnage electric trucks for large-scale mining, various models and powers of existing charging points provided by Enel X Way, Enel’s new business line specifically dedicated to electromobility, were showcased .
Rodrigo Jason, The Manager of Global Logistics at SQM spoke about the company’s sustainability commitments and experience in electromobility through the implementation of the largest and most diverse electric fleet in the national mining industry. Country’s First 100% Electric High Tonnage Trucks, which considers the inclusion of 35 such vehicles.
,At SQM we are committed to being a leader not only in the production of lithium, but also in the successful incorporation of new forms of electric transport, Furthermore, we believe that sustainability, efficiency and safety are not mutually exclusive and can be jointly managed to move forward in an integral way toward carbon neutrality, an aspiration that we will pursue across all of our product lines by 2040. are planning to receive”, he indicated.
Sustainable and green mining is here to stay, and the Antofagasta region is a leader in the implementation of technology that promotes sustainability of operations, working decisively to achieve carbon neutrality in all of its processes.

The Extreme E is the most extreme electric car race on the planet. The competition will take place this Saturday and Sunday in the Atacama Desert, In the vicinity of Sierra Gorda. The race runs through the most remote places in the world in an effort to raise awareness about the effects of climate change. The competition comes in the hands of Antofagasta Minerals in Chile as the main sponsor and Enel X Way as the global partner and the main provider of charging infrastructure worldwide.
The Extreme E is a single-car competition, similar to the competition format in Formula E. all teams have Odyssey 21, an electric SUV that has received relevant modifications to be able to meet the challenges of this off-road race. It is developed by the company Spark Racing TechnologyAnd it was introduced in 2019 and has since been tested in various extreme natural environments.
An off-road electric prototype competing in the Xtreme E was displayed on the esplanade of the Huanchaca ruins. This car has measures that go up 4.4 m tall, 2.3 m wide; and 1.8 m high. The Xtreme E Racing car accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.5 seconds and is capable of a top speed of 200 km/h.
