Philippines, China’s largest supplier of nickel ore, may tax nickel exports to follow Indonesia’s success… could this be the opportunity to develop cleaner Class I material without coal fired power & Chinese dominance? #nickel #ghg #EV https://t.co/4VBfLRCLZC

[The Carbon Trust @thecarbontrust]

Launched today: the Net Zero Roadmap for Copper & Nickel Mining Value Chains.

To reach Net Zero by 2050, these minerals' production must grow by ~250%, but processes must be decarbonised. The guide offers solutions to this & is designed to encourage cross-industry collaboration.

[Neil Ringdahl @NeilRingdahl]

This is a big deal: MMG put Las Bambas on Care & Maintenance effective 1st Feb. This mine produces 290kt copper/yr, effectively 1.3% of the global production.

Calling peak anything is always a risk, but the non coal mining industry has made great strides switching to renewable energy in the past couple of years. The next 5 years will be materially different for #copper #gold #nickel #GHG #PPA

[Simon Evans @DrSimEvans]

The world has reached peak fossil fuels for electricity, thanks to the rapid growth of wind & solar

Wind & solar are the cheapest sources of electricity for 96% of the world's population

Research from Skarn's Lithium GHG and energy curve shows that the carbon footprint of the lithium that goes into Li-ion batteries to power #EVs, varies widely.

[Skarn Associates @SkarnAssoc]

Transportation, conversion and refining of hard-rock #lithium all lead to much higher #greenhousegas output compared to brine operations. What does this mean for future demand?
