It's all about the energy

摘要

In the study Energy efficiency in conveyor technology and climate protection carried out by Germany's Clausthal University of Technology and headed by Professor Dr. Hossein Tudeshki from the Institute of Mining Engineering at Clausthal, it was found that currently more than 12.3 bt of solid mineral raw materials per annum are being extracted and consumed worldwide. To convey this amount, an additional 28.84 bt of spoils and overburden must also be moved. Cost factor With regard to increasing energy prices, transport has become an important cost factor in the extraction of raw materials. On top of that, there are the consequences for the environment and climate.
