“This is probably the biggest risk in supply for the electrification of the world — if the CO2-nickel equation is not actively tackled...If there’s no action, the industry will have a problem.” bloomberg.com/news/newslette… via Bloomberg Green

🚨"A lot of the drivers for recent protests of #copper mines, and of the companies producing them, are due to ESG concerns. It remains unclear if the connection will be made that without copper there will be no energy transition." 🚨 forbes.com/sites/markleda…

When it comes to responsible resource extraction, Norway would feature high - if not at top - of any list of major players. Decision to support exploration & - pending impact studies - exploitation of seafloor minerals is a big step for this new industry. reuters.com/world/europe/n…

ICYMI - In NORI's latest webinar, TMC Chief Sustainability Officer Erica Ocampo detailed Benchmark's LCA and Carbon Sinks Study comparing the production of key energy transition metals from the NORI-D Nodule Project to land-based production routes. vimeo.com/893808031

America faces an uphill battle to own its #battery metal supply chain and secure the supplies it needs to deliver upon the #energytransition and meet its climate goals. As @nkrohleder notes, nodules are a promising solution to these tricky problems. nasdaq.com/articles/suppl… $TMC

NEW: In my latest essay, I argue that opposition to seabed mineral harvesting too often grossly exaggerates enviro impacts, while seeking to ban a promising technology that could help reduce impacts from battery metals sourcing. thebreakthrough.org/issues/energy/…

With the massive growth in Indonesian output rendering most Western nickel supply uneconomic and a further 11% of high purity nickel being made unavailable to U.S. & U.K. consumers due to Russian sanctions, finding alternative and massively scalable sources must be priority #1.

The U.S. Congress just called for the completion of a feasibility study on domestic nodule-intermediate refining by end of next year in the 2025 NDAA, demonstrating its leadership toward critical mineral independence. We look forward to the Pentagon's imminent report on nodules,

A pleasure to bring our Enviro Team's detailed and meticulous research to life. The science is clear: the noise about sediment plumes has proven to be ill-informed and overblown. Some will continue to ignore years of rigorous work, but that doesn’t change the facts. $TMC
