Nornickel investigating using mining tailings to capture and store CO2

Green Car Congress

Russia-based Norilsk Nickel (Nornickel)—the world’s largest nickel producer—is studying the potential for mining tailings to capture and store CO 2. Ore mining and concentration results in waste rock, or tailings—fine-grained rock (less than 0.4 In 2021, Nornickel extracted 41.2 mm) that looks like sand.
