The Crawford project in Ontario combines nickel production with carbon storage technology, with developers saying it could become one of North America’s largest carbon storage facilities once the mine begins its operations.

The Ontario project recently received federal approval and is expected to attract billions of dollars in investment while supplying nickel for electric vehicle batteries. Developers say the carbon capture process permanently locks carbon dioxide into rock, reducing the mine’s overall emissions. Construction is expected to proceed once remaining permits and financing are secured.
