Operational Challenge, Approach, Measurement and Value

L/hourL per tonne moved

The asset base is fixed in the short term, fuel can be a major controllable operating cost, and the improvement has to be proved in the client's own operating environment before it can be scaled.

Operational challenge

High diesel consumption under severe and continuous heavy duty cycles.

Mining & Construction DeCarb Diesel Plus

10.79% to 12.99%

certified reduction in diesel consumption

  • Two opencast mines
  • Five dumper groups
  • 2016–2018

At two opencast mines of a Government mining company in Telangana, the company certified reductions in HSD consumption of 10.79% to 12.99% across five dumper groups (BEML 35T and 60T, Komatsu 100T), 2016–2018, using DeCarb Diesel Plus, tested under its earlier name, Diesel Plus Gold. Results are specific to the equipment, period and method recorded.

  • Two dumpers and an excavator
  • Study signed by the mines management

In a diesel consumption study signed by the mines management of a cement company's captive limestone mine in Telangana, two dumpers and an excavator used 18.18% less diesel per tonne moved (0.16 → 0.13 L/t) and 16.66% less per operating hour with DeCarb Diesel Plus, tested under its earlier name, Diesel Plus Gold.

40%

lower dumper exhaust emissions in a one-year study

  • One-year study
  • Two mines
  • CO₂ reduced by 669 tonnes

The Annual Report 2017-18 of a Government mining company in Telangana records a one-year study at its GK OCP and PKOC mines in which dumper exhaust emissions were reduced by 40% compared with the values before the additive, and CO₂ emissions were reduced by 669 tonnes.

Results are specific to the equipment, period and method recorded, and are not a guarantee for other operations.

Avoided emissions are not carbon credits. No credit eligibility, issuance or carbon revenue is implied.

Measurement

What we measure

Value is established for one operation at a time. Consumption and performance data are measured against baseline using the method agreed before the trial.

  • Litres per hour
  • Litres per tonne moved
  • Fuel per machine
  • Operating hours

Potential business value

Operating-cost opportunity across a defined equipment group, where verified.

Sector-specific business-value assessments can be developed from the client's own operating baseline and verified performance data.
