Product carbon footprint

Product carbon footprint assessments for 2024 Including the Sulphur Project’s provision.

Product carbon footprint of non‑ferrous metals (kg of CO 2 equivalent per kg of product)
Product carbon footprint of PGMs (kg of CO2 equivalent per g of metal)

The carbon footprints of Nornickel’s products are calculated based on:

  • ISO 14067:2018, ISO 14040:2006, ISO 14044:2006
  • GHG Protocol Product Life Cycle Accounting and Reporting Standard methodology
  • LME passport guidance – Nickel Institute guidance for nickel producers to calculate their GHG emissions
  • the IPA’s guidance: The Carbon Footprint of Platinum Group Metals: A Best Practice Guidance for the Calculation of Greenhouse Gas of Primary Produced PGMs.

The scope of the carbon footprint calculation for MMC Norilsk Nickel’s products in 2024 included direct greenhouse gas absorption by tailings. For more details on this project, please see the  Decarbonisation Projects sub‑section.
