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 mining.com/web/philippines-m…

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.

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.
Desde que inició operaciones, en 2016, #LasBambas ha tenido que lidiar con más de 400 días de bloqueos de vías. Más de 6.000 empleos, directos e indirectos, están en peligro. @MineraLasBambas

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
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 Says @RockyMtnInst @KingsmillBond rmi.org/insight/peak-fossil-…

Mandatory International Sustainability Standards Board @IFRSFoundation #TCFD compliant reporting guidelines open for comments until July 29th. They will have a huge impact for mining companies & investors on #GHG, #Energy and #Water quantitative reporting. ifrs.org/projects/work-plan/…
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. Discover what this means for OEM's linkedin.com/feed/update/urn… #lithium #ghg #CO2 #batteries
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? kitco-podcast.simplecast.com… #energy #mining #zerocarbonfuture #electricvehicles #lithium #water
