Converting heat waste into energy used for mine cooling

Key outcomes

• Cost savings of $2.7 million per annum
• Total project value $5.5 million
• 18 month payback period
• Saves 5000 tonnes of CO2 per annum

The ST Barbara mine in Leonora, Western Australia, had multiple gas generators which were producing heat waste. ETS was engaged to design and install an exhaust system which captures that waste heat and turns it into 5.6MW of additional capacity. The mine uses this additional capacity for its underground cooling system which means that traditional and much more expensive methods of expanding the cooling capacity were no longer required.
