These environmental challenges will only worsen given the industry supply profile with the bulk of recent nickel supply growth and the main source of future production growth being nickel pig iron production in Indonesia, which, according to industry sources, uses 25-30 tonnes of coal to produce each tonne of nickel.

The report also covers an assessment of the potential contribution from reductions in short-lived climate pollutants (SLCPs). This has raised hopes that emissions have peaked, as they must by 2020 to remain on a successful climate trajectory. These six present a combined poten al of up to 22 GtCO 2 e per annum.

Emissions of two of the most important climate change gases increased last year, according to a preliminary analysis for NOAA’s annual greenhouse gas index, which tracks data from 60 sites around the world. When related climate affects are taken into account, methane’s overall climate impact is nearly half that of carbon dioxide.
