- Seasonal variations in CO2 sequestration rates.
- Need for an electrified haul fleet to achieve carbon neutrality.
Giga Metals Corp.
Greenhouse gas emissions & sustainability report data
In its 2021 reporting, Giga Metals Corp. disclosed greenhouse gas emissions of Less than 2.5 tonnes CO2e/tonne of nickel produced (diesel fleet); less than 0.75 t CO2e/t Ni with an electrified fleet. Figures are as stated in the company's own report and may use different boundaries, units or methods (for example market-based vs location-based Scope 2), so compare with care.

✅ Reported Environmental Achievements
- Demonstrated significant mineral sequestration of CO2, averaging 2.7 kg CO2/m2/y with potential for 25% increase through active management. Estimated sequestration of 900,000 tonnes of CO2 over mine life (0.72 tonnes CO2 per tonne nickel produced).
🎯 Climate & Sustainability Targets
🔜 Short-term
- Conduct additional tests on larger samples to further refine CO2 sequestration estimates.
🔭 Long-term
- Build the world’s first true carbon neutral nickel mine.
