Novel Carbon Storage Solution Through Critical Minerals Production: In Process Tailings Carbonation

Lead Proponent

Canada Nickel Company Inc.

Project Objectives

The objective of this project is to use ultramafic tailings from nickel mining to provide a permanent and geologically stable CO² storage solution through proprietary in-process tailings (IPT) carbonation technology.

Expected Results

This project aims to:

1. Derisk and demonstrate the sequestration potential of Canada Nickel’s IPT carbonation technology at a pilot plant level. Which upon success of the project, would support millions of tons of future CO2 sequestration annually, provided the intended mine is built and operational.
2. Demonstrate, identify, and report the stability and permanence of carbon sequestration in tailings using Canada Nickel’s IPT technology.
