Can plants solve the battery supply crisis?

In this episode of Planet A, we explore a surprising Green tech solution to the looming battery-material crunch: using nickel‑eating plants to extract nickel from metalliferous soils. These “green miners” could reduce both environmental harm and dependence on conflict‑tainted supplies. The video also spotlights industrial innovations—like Australia’s TECH Project and eco‑friendly processing methods—as efforts to build sustainable, low-carbon nickel supply chains for electric‑vehicle batteries.
