FPX Nickel Corp. announced the highlight the potential for the company's Baptiste Project in central British Columbia to produce refined nickel with a significantly lower carbon footprint than other sources of production in the global nickel industry. These findings are based on the Project's recent Preliminary Economic Assessment, which outlined the development of a conventional processing facility powered by low-carbon hydro-electric power for the production of a refined, high-grade product capable of bypassing smelting and being sold directly to end users. The carbon intensity of Baptiste operations is expected to average 2.40 tonnes of carbon dioxide per tonne of refined nickel production. Baptiste carbon intensity compares very favourably to published literature estimating the carbon intensity of existing nickel production from various mineral deposit types: 7.19 t CO2/t refined Ni for Class 1 nickel production from sulphide ore 27.50 t CO2/t refined Ni for Class 1 nickel production from laterite ore 45.00 t CO2/t refined Ni for ferronickel production from laterite ore 69.00 t CO2/t refined Ni for nickel pig iron production from laterite ore Results summarized herein assume no sequestration of carbon dioxide in Baptiste tailings.
