About this listen

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. In Episode 2, we learn how nickel mining can be done properly, relative to our net-zero goals. 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.
