During the Chilean-German Raw Material Forum 2024, organized by AHK Chile and supported by the Ministerio de Minería de Chile, BMWK and the State of Bavaria Office for South America, we had the chance to contribute to the international dialogue about multidimensional collaboration for responsible mining and resilient raw material supply chains. With the active participation of Prof. Dr. Michael Danzer director of Bavarian Center for Battery Technology (BayBatt) and the keynote presentation of Prof. Christoph Helbig of University of Bayreuth the audience reviewed and discussed topics for a close collaboration with Germany like: • Strategic Raw Materials for Critical Industries • Strategic Knowledge Clusters for Resilient Supply Chains • Strategic Cross Industry Innovation for Energy Transition • Strategic Talent Development for Responsible Mining In within the framework of the last discussion panel, Richard Dieter Frenz, Vice President at MAN Truck & Bus SE highlighted the importance of women that can contribute positively to a responsible and sustainable mining. Furthermore, MAN presented their H2 MAN Truck for South America: Pioneering Hydrogen Solutions in Mining!! Chile is leading the way in innovation and sustainability. For the past two years, the country has operated hydrogen-powered machinery in its mining sector, showcasing its commitment to cleaner, more efficient operations. Building on this progress, interest in MAN's hydrogen trucks is growing rapidly. At the Chilean-German Raw Material Forum 2024, they introduced the hydrogen-powered truck, designed for the tough demands of South American mining. Combining the robustness of combustion engines with zero emissions, it’s a game-changer for heavy-duty transport!!
