In the red, dusty outback of the Pilbara in Western Australia, the world’s biggest iron ore miner Rio Tinto is preparing for a low carbon future as it maps out new sources of the raw material to ship to the world’s steelmaking industry.
Rio Tinto hosted media to Gudai-darri’s mine, plant and 34 megawatt solar farm last week, as well as its Dampier port and rail operations. It showed off its newest automation, including self-driving water trucks that dampen dusty roads and a robot that checks on a 5 km iron-ore conveyer belt for preventative maintenance.
But Gudai-darri is just one in Rio’s network of 17 iron ore mines linked by 1,900 kms of rail across a vast red plains at the heart of Australia’s most valuable export industry. Iron ore exports were worth A$124 billion last year.
