Nickel producers: a screen of miners and refiners?

This data-file captures the 2.4MTpa nickel market, broken down facility by facility, producer-by-producer.


25 companies dominate the world’s nickel production, although the supply chain is heavily split between battery-grade materials, nickel sulphates, Class I metals, and lower-grade products such as matte, ferro-nickels, intermediates and NPI.

Each company is summarized, according to its size, supply chain position, cash flow, concentration in nickel, and underlying asset exposure.

CO2 intensity varies by a very wide 10x margin, from sub-10 tons/ton nickel to 100 tons/ton.
