(News Bulletin 247) – Caterpillar announced on Thursday that it had been chosen to ensure the gradual transition of the heavy extraction equipment of the Canadian mining group Nouveau Monde Graphite (NMG) to ‘zero exhaust’ machines.
The agreement provides for the supply of an integrated solution comprising a mining fleet, related infrastructure and maintenance services for NMG’s Matawinie mine, located in Quebec.
This protocol aims to ultimately establish a fully circular value chain where NMG would supply carbon neutral graphite materials to Caterpillar.
These components would then be used to power a sustainable battery supply chain allowing the electrification of its heavy vehicles, including the fleet destined for Matawinie.
Caterpillar and NMG – which have been collaborating since 2021 – say they have planned the design and testing of this equipment and infrastructure in such a way that after a pre-production phase, the ‘Cat’ zero-exhaust machines will be gradually installed. , the objective being to have completed the transition to electrification by the fifth year of commercial operations in Matawinie.
