A study published in Scientific Reports presents a forward-thinking approach to modernize mine water pumping stations by integrating green hydrogen storage technology. The mining sector is transitioning towards cleaner energy and decarbonization by leveraging renewable sources, particularly hydrogen generated via water electrolysis. Mine water pumping stations, crucial for maintaining safe mining operations, face environmental concerns due to their energy demands and carbon emissions. The research introduces 10 functional models that combine PV systems, battery storage, and green hydrogen production to optimize energy use, lower costs, and minimize environmental impact. A case study in Poland's Upper Silesian Coal Basin demonstrated the effectiveness of these models in reducing CO2 emissions. The study's findings highlight the economic viability of green hydrogen storage models for mine water pumping stations. Models focusing on on-site PV systems and selling excess electricity to nearby industries showed promising results in energy efficiency and financial performance. Green hydrogen production proved to be an efficient long-term storage solution, with potential for economic growth and significant CO2 emissions reduction. Green hydrogen storage not only benefits the mining sector but also offers broader applications in wastewater treatment, municipal energy, agriculture, transport, and manufacturing. The study emphasizes the importance of collaboration between mining companies and renewable energy providers to drive innovation and investment in clean technologies. By embracing green hydrogen storage, mining companies can reduce their carbon footprints and contribute to a sustainable future.
