Biomass carbon emissions from nickel mining have significant implications for climate action by Evelyn M. Mervine, Rick K. Valenta, James S. Paterson, Gavin M. Mudd, Tim T. Werner, Ilyas Nursamsi, Laura J. Sonter

“…Here, we compiled data for 481 nickel mines and undeveloped deposits to show that the footprint of nickel mining could be 4 to 500 times greater than previously reported (depending on the mine site), and thus the environmental impacts of nickel products, including batteries, have been underestimated to date. We found large variation in biomass losses among mines, and, in many cases, these unaccounted carbon emissions were significant relative to other Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions from nickel extraction and processing. …”
