The automotive world has begun to make its big nickel move - and many mining companies are about to get very, very popular. Some of the world’s biggest nickel deposits are sitting undeveloped, waiting for the right partners (and the right money), to move forward. And while the big car companies have moved slowly up to now (that’s the nature of the beast), things are clearly changing. They have to. Because there’s only so m...
Battery technology continues to get better and better - because our battery needs keep growing and growing. Now, as the EV revolution takes hold, demands on battery tech has never been higher.

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:...
