BSX is in the box seat, re the EU's mandated & verifiable "green passport" plan for low CO2 production of Ni etc. for EV batteries from 2026 (The USA & India might possibly adopt this policy also).
BSX's Ni mining , & production of EV battery Ni precursor chemicals, using hydro power have very low CO2 emissions.
How can Indonesia's very dirty Ni laterite production (if in EV car batteries), re entry of such EV vehicles into the EU etc., compete; ditto China?

"More than 120 companies plan to come together to introduce ‘battery passports’ that will be based on the blockchain and allow owners to track a battery’s history. Automakers includingHondaand Ford are among the consortium, as are Nissan, Mazda, General Motors, Stellantis, andBMW.

From 2026, the European Union will require digital passports forbatteries. These passports will provide detailed digital records of that battery’s supply chain and state where its materials were sourced from, its percentage of recycled components, the amount of carbon dioxide emissions associated with it, and various human rights protections. Other major markets like the United States and India are considering the implementation of similar regulations".
