Volvo Trucks and Boliden collaborate on deployment of underground electric trucks for mining

Green Car Congress

In mining environments, the electric trucks can deliver several big advantages—including no exhaust emissions, a safer workplace, and quieter working conditions. Just like in many other mines, exhaust gases from diesel vehicles are responsible for the majority of the carbon dioxide emissions from Boliden’s mines.

bp begins shipping LNG from Mozambique’s first LNG project and first FLNG platform

Green Car Congress

FLNG vessels are floating LNG production, storage and offloading units. The Coral field, discovered in May 2012, is located within Area 4 and contains approximately 450 billion cubic meters (16 TCF) of gas in place. The start of production at the facility comes at an important moment, as LNG plays a key role supporting energy security.
