Abstract

The future of net-zero mining is here Dr. Estibalitz (Esti) Ukar discusses how Canada Nickel Company, in partnership with the University of Texas at Austin and the U.S. Department of Energy, is re-engineering its workflow to integrate CO₂ capture into its business model, potentially shaping the future of responsible mineral development. To meet growing demand for critical minerals and net-zero targets, mining must make carbon management a core part of operations. Read here how Canada Nickel Company, in collaboration with the University of Texas at Austin and the U.S. Department of Energy, is re engineering its workflow to embed CO2 capture directly into its business model, and what this could mean for the future of responsible mineral development.
