Nickel for a Sustainable Future
May 31, 2007 -- Nickel Institute President Stephen Barnett today delivered the keynote address to the 4th Annual China Nickel 2007 Conference in Shanghai, China. In his presentation, he outlined China's position in the world nickel market; the relative importance of the various end use markets for nickel; the growing importance of recycled nickel; and the geographic distribution of world nickel production.
He also told delegates how the Nickel Institute has launched a stainless steel recycling communications campaign; outlined the unique properties of nickel that contribute to its essential uses in the marketplace and described some of the applications of nickel-containing materials in the following industries: telecommunications, building and architecture, food processing, transport, energy production, oil and gas, air pollution reduction, and nuclear waste storage.
Organized by IBC Conferences, this two-day conference is billed as the key meeting place for decision-makers and senior executives in the nickel industry. It annually attracts 150 delegates (see: www.informa.com.au)
| NOTE: The Nickel Institute does not present forecasts or comments on nickel markets, prices or supply/demand. The Nickel Institute does promote the long term use of nickel to contribute to a sustainable future. The unique properties of nickel mean that it has the ability to play a significant role in daily living and the industries of today and the future. For this reason the nickel industry is currently investing billions of dollars in new projects around the globe most notably in Australia, Brazil, Canada, New Caledonia and Russia. Whenever the Nickel Institute makes a public comment, any opinions expressed or implied are those of the Nickel Institute and not necessarily those of its members. |
