The second edition of the SDQ explores the decarbonisation trends of nickel and lithium and provides a unique framework to assess progress made against decarbonisation targets by Nickel Industries, South32 and Vale.
We also review the impact of the EU's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) in collaboration with CarbonChain, and explore the complex topic of bioenergy for which it is not without challenges to substantiate carbon reduction across the full supply chain.
Key topics:
- EU's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), explored in collaboration with CarbonChain: Limited availability of primary emissions data and disallowing the use of default values a key challenge for some importers
- Nickel and lithium industry trends: all about downstream emissions, driven by consumption of energy for heat and reducing processes
- Review of decarbonisation targets and progress: Vale, South32 and Nickel Industries
- Reducing Scope 1 emissions with bioenergy: Lower emissions for consumers (Scope 1 and 2) but not always net negative for producers (Scope 3 for consumers), and substantiating net benefit remains a challenge in the absence of clear alignment of methodology
