Nickel Mining: Searching For Sustainability
The world needs a whole lot more nickel - which means it also needs a whole lot more nickel mining. In Episode 2, we learn how nickel mining can be done properly, relative to our net-zero goals. And how the mining industry is now changing from an obstacle to overcome, to an opportunity we can all embrace.
As the world goes electric, we’re going to need a whole lot more nickel to build batteries - which means we’re also going to need a whole lot more nickel mining.

Sustainable mining has become a reality, built from necessity - and with the recent investments and innovation, we’re seeing this once stigmatised industry now changing: from an obstacle to overcome, to an opportunity we can all embrace.
