Integrating renewable energy into mining operations: …
Mining can be divided into two main energy-use categories: off-grid and grid-connected. Traditionally, most off-grid mining operations depend on fossil fuels such as diesel, heavy oils, and coal for on-site generation and haulage [6]. However, grid-connected mining operations are also reliant on fossil fuels, to some degree.

How Are Fossil Fuels Extracted From The Ground?
The majority of all mining for fossil fuels involves the extraction of coal. Coal can be extracted close to the upper portion of the earth's crust, called surface mining, or from deep within the earth through underground mining.

6.5.3: Fossil Fuels- Formation and Mining
Shale is a common source of fossil fuels with high porosity but it has very low permeability. In order extract the fossil fuels, the material has to be mined and heated, which is expensive and typically has a negative impact on the environment. Oil shale is extracted by strip mining, creating subsurface mines, or open-pit mining.
