Canada Nickel and UT Austin Launch Carbon Sequestration Pilot at Crawford Nickel Project
Canada Nickel Company launched an in-situ carbon sequestration pilot program at its Crawford Nickel Project, collaborating with the University of Texas and funded by the U.S. Department of Energy. The project aims to accelerate CO2 mineralization by injecting carbon-enriched water into ultramafic rock. Monitoring techniques will track the process, potentially leading to cost reductions and a model for sustainable mining. This initiative complements their existing carbonation program, supporting their net-zero carbon nickel production goal and a Zero-Carbon Industrial Cluster.
