22 gen 2024 anni - (AUSTRALIA) Battery freight trains could boost resilience for Australia's storm battered economies

Descrizione:

The freight train network in Australia carries minerals, agricultural products and increasingly processed materials such as the new critical minerals so necessary for the decarbonization of the world.

The addition of a mobile battery storage system that can become rapidly applied to disaster relief as well as being part of the net zero production system, can be demonstrated in Western Australia where battery freight trains are already being purchased along with electric mining machinery as part of the net zero mining industry.

There are two parts of WA that would immediately benefit by this new model: the South West Integrated Sytem (SWIS) where a recent massive, unpredicted storm destroyed the transmission system going out to Kalgoorlie, and the North West Integrated System (NWIS) being built to join up multiple mining systems in the cyclone-sensitive mining area of the Pilbara.
