Sinking big: BHP's carbon blessing

Tech Zero

About this episode

Background reading:

  • When Samantha Langley realised that the tailings dam at BHP’s Nickel West mine could be a carbon sink, she could not have imagined it potentially offsetting all the company’s mining operations.
  • The Clean Energy Regulator is considering making mine wastes eligible for carbon credits as BHP says one dam could offset its iron ore and nickel mines.
