Backed by both private investors and the Qu\u00e9bec government, Montreal-based Exterra Carbon Solutions raised about USD 14.5 million (CAD 20 million) to build Hub I, the world\u2019s largest facility for repurposing asbestos mining waste.<\/p>\n<p>The plant will reportedly be located in Val-des-Sources \u2013 formerly known as Asbestos, Quebec \u2013 home to the infamous Jeffrey Mine, once the world\u2019s largest open pit asbestos mine that produced half of the global supply. Now, with the new initiative, the company believes it can safely neutralize the asbestos fibers found in the leftover mining waste and convert the material into valuable, carbon-neutral products.<\/p>\n<p>These include low-carbon metal oxides like magnesium oxide, used in agriculture, water treatment, and pharmaceuticals, as well as nickel concentrate, a critical material in the manufacturing of electric vehicle (EV) batteries. However, one of the most innovative parts of Exterra\u2019s approach is its carbon capture method, which relies on a proprietary one-step process that locks CO\u2082 directly into processed minerals \u2013 eliminating the need for a separate capture system.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/interestingengineering.com\/innovation\/worlds-largest-asbestos-mines-waste-to-be-recycled-into-ev-battery-component\">Interesting Engineering<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/2-707\/\">World\u2019s largest asbestos mine\u2019s waste to be recycled into EV battery component<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[2277,575,4336,11716],"class_list":["post-139451","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-asbestos","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-ev-battery","tag-mine-waste"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/139451","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=139451"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/139451\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=139451"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=139451"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=139451"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
