1. Emissions and electricity
At its ESG roundtable, BHP reported that FY2026 operational emissions were 33% below its FY2020 baseline and renewable sources supplied 80% of electricity at operated assets globally. It said it remains on track to reduce operational emissions by at least 30% by FY2030 from the FY2020 baseline.
2. Diesel displacement plans
BHP identified diesel displacement as the biggest opportunity toward net-zero operational emissions by CY2050, requiring fleet electrification and supporting power infrastructure. A trial of Caterpillar's Dynamic Energy Transfer system is planned for FY2027 to assess charging haul trucks while moving.
