Green nickel for sustainable electrification: Carbon-free process extracts nickel for batteries and steel

Green nickel for sustainable electrification: Carbon-free process extracts nickel for batteries and steel

To combat climate change and achieve a climate-neutral industry, carbon emissions must be drastically reduced. A key part of this transition is replacing carbon-based energy carriers with electricity, particularly in transport ...

Sustainable nickel enabled by hydrogen-based reduction

Nickel is a critical element in the shift to sustainable energy systems, with the demand for nickel projected to exceed 6 million tons annually by 20401–4, largely driven by the electrification of the transport sector. Primary nickel production uses acids and carbon-based reductants, emitting about 20 tons of carbon dioxide per ton of nickel produced5–7. Here we present a method using fossil-free hydrogen-plasma-based reduction to extract nickel…

Scientists create a carbon-free way to produce nickel for batteries and steel

As the world works to fight climate change, cutting carbon emissions from heavy industry is just as important as cleaning up transportation. Nickel, a metal essential for making electric car batteries and stainless steel, is at the center of this shift. But there’s a catch—producing nickel the traditional way is very polluting. Making one ton […] The post Scientists create a carbon-free way to produce nickel for batteries and steel appeared firs…
