The company claims the Saskatchewan mine will be the biggest and most sustainable in the world when it starts production in 2026.
Federal minister François-Philippe Champagne says Canada will give up to $100 million to BHP to cut emissions, reduce water use and diversify hiring at its Jansen project, a long-awaited mine about 140 kilometres east of Saskatoon that officials say will create thousands of jobs and further Saskatchewan’s position as a potash producer at a time of soaring global demand for the vital fertilizer ingredient.
The company claims the mine will emit half the carbon dioxide emitted by its other Saskatchewan competitors on a tonne-for-tonne basis. In a briefing last September, the company said it would aim for 80 per cent of its underground vehicle fleet to be electric and would eventually aim for 100 per cent.
SASKATOON, SASK.: — NOVEMBER 25, 2010 –The BHP Billiton Jansen mine site near Lanigan on November 25, 2010Champagne said that month is when he started texting Mike Henry, BHP’s CEO. Global potash prices are soaring, in part because of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Western sanctions on Russia and its ally, Belarus — both major potash producers — has decreased supply and boosted demand for global food production.
