Are Seabed Nodules Mining the Sustainable Answer?

Polymetallic nodules, rich in critical minerals like lithium, cobalt, and nickel, are the cornerstone of many green technologies. With land-based reserves depleting, seabed nodules mining offers a promising solution, valued at US$ 16.2 trillion in potential mineral deposits.

Key highlights assessed:
✔ Hotspots: The Clarion-Clipperton Zone and Norway’s Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ).
✔ Stakeholders: Companies like TMC and initiatives such as the Blue Nodules Project are leading innovation in deep-sea mining technology.
✔ Technologies: Robotics, advanced monitoring systems, and deep-sea mining equipment.
✔ Regulations: 31 active contracts issued by the International Seabed Authority (ISA) ensure compliance and sustainability.
