There are metallic deposits scattered throughout our ocean floors — among hydrothermal vents, under the crust of seamounts, and scattered along sea plains in the form of rocks. As it happens, in our search for climate solutions, these metals have become more critical than ever to help us transition away from fossil fuels. We need them for everything like electric car batteries, copper wiring for electrification and wind turbines. Our land-based deposits have met our needs so far, but it’s unclear whether they will continue to, or whether we’ll want to kee...

Could Deep-Sea Mining Fix The Global Minerals Shortage?
There are billions of tons and billions of dollars worth of critical minerals at the bottom of the ocean, including nickel, copper, cobalt and manganese. These metals are vital to electric vehicle batteries and the clean energy transition as a whole. But the debate over whether or not to extract them has become a global controversy, as many fear the potential ecological disruptions it could cause in a part of our planet that remains largely unexplored. What’s more, international regulations for deep-sea mining have yet to be finalized, and the United Nations-affiliated regulatory agency in charge, the International Seabed Authority, recently missed a key deadline to do so.
In the midst of this uncertainly, The Metals Company is forging ahead. The company plans to submit a mining applicati...

Norway lured by deep-sea mining for rare metals • FRANCE 24 English
Norway has just authorised commercial deep-sea mining on its seabed, which is rich in rare and precious metals. This announcement has whetted the appetite of mining companies, which are developing robots and drones to collect the rocks, located at a depth of 3,000 metres. Billions of euros are at stake in the exploitation of these so-called critical minerals, which are essential for building electric vehicle batteries and solar panels. But deep-sea mining could prove devastating for ecosystems.

The Mine Disaster UNDER The Ocean
This is the Levant Mine. Also nicknamed the mine under the sea. It was first opened in 1820, and would eventually reach 2000 feet deep into the earth. But also a full mile underneath the Atlantic Ocean. I’m sure you can imagine what might happen if one of the tunnels were to fail. Incredibly, that isn’t even the worst of the conditions within. This is the story of the Levant Mine Disaster. As always, viewer discretion is advised.

Norway approves seabed mining
The smartphones, laptops and other gadgets that we use on a daily basis are essentially made of some rare metals. These are being exploitatively mined in different parts of the world but the appetite for these resources remains insatiable. The world has now turned towards the resources available deep inside the sea bed in addition to the ones available on land.
In keeping up with this, a 280,000 sq km area, off the coast of Norway has been approved for the world’s first commercial mining exploration under the sea bed. Despite protests from activists and raised alarms from scientists, the project was green lit by the Norwegian Parliament.
There are many other nations as well that are eager to invest in this new age exploration. But why is deep sea mining trending and what harms can it cause...

Deep sea mining: A new way forward or looming disaster?
On July 10, 2023, the International Seabed Authority (ISA) began a three-week-long discussion in Jamaica. Talks such as these are crucial as controversial proposals to allow deep-sea mining are set to take centre stage. Moreover, many nations and private institutions are proposing deep sea mining as a source to extract minerals to promote the world’s push for green technology.
So, let’s take a look into this.
Deep-sea mining involves extracting ores rich in cobalt, manganese, zinc and other rare metals from the sea floor. These rare metals build batteries for electric vehicles, smartphones and laptops.
Several nations, including India, have their eyes set on deep-sea mining. However, experts have raised an alarm over the potentially harmful impacts on ocean biodiversity.

There are billions of tons and billions of dollars worth of critical minerals at the bottom of the ocean, including nickel, copper, cobalt and manganese. These metals are vital to electric vehicle batteries and the clean energy transition as a whole. But the debate over whether or not to extract them has become a global controversy, as many fear the potential ecological disruptions it could cause in a part of our planet that remains largely unexplored. What’s more, international regulations for deep-sea mining have yet to be finalized, and the United Nations-affiliated regulatory agency in charge, the International Seabed Authority, recently missed a key deadline to do so.
In the midst of this uncertainly, The Metals Company is forging ahead. The company plans to submit a mining application next year and begin extraction by 2025. But considering the absence of global governance, many remain concerned that this timeline is too aggressive. Major corporations including Google and Samsung, alongside automakers BMW, Volkswagen, Volvo, Renault and Rivian have lined up against deep-sea mining - promising not to source minerals from the ocean until the scientific uncertainties are addressed, and regulations are in place.
CORRECTION: At 5:43 we misstate the name of The Metals Company’s project area that is ranked as having the largest undeveloped nickel deposit in the world, and encompasses nearly 29,000 square miles of seafloor. This area is called NORI. NORI-D is a smaller subset of the full NORI license area.

Norway has just authorised commercial deep-sea mining on its seabed, which is rich in rare and precious metals. This announcement has whetted the appetite of mining companies, which are developing robots and drones to collect the rocks, located at a depth of 3,000 metres. Billions of euros are at stake in the exploitation of these so-called critical minerals, which are essential for building electric vehicle batteries and solar panels. But deep-sea mining could prove devastating for ecosystems.

This is the Levant Mine. Also nicknamed the mine under the sea. It was first opened in 1820, and would eventually reach 2000 feet deep into the earth. But also a full mile underneath the
Atlantic Ocean. I’m sure you can imagine what might happen if one of the tunnels were to fail. Incredibly, that isn’t even the worst of the conditions within. This is the story of the Levant Mine Disaster. As always, viewer discretion is advised.

Norway approves seabed mining

The smartphones, laptops and other gadgets that we use on a daily basis are essentially made of some rare metals. These are being exploitatively mined in different parts of the world but the appetite for these resources remains insatiable. The world has now turned towards the resources available deep inside the sea bed in addition to the ones available on land.
In keeping up with this, a 280,000 sq km area, off the coast of Norway has been approved for the world’s first commercial mining exploration under the sea bed. Despite protests from activists and raised alarms from scientists, the project was green lit by the Norwegian Parliament.
There are many other nations as well that are eager to invest in this new age exploration. But why is deep sea mining trending and what harms can it cause to the marine ecosystem?
Deep-sea mining is the process of extracting ores from the seafloor – at depths greater than 200 metres. At these depths, one can explore critical minerals such as cobalt, manganese, zinc and other rare metals that are required to kickstart the new clean energy transition.
The world’s need for many of these metals, used for electric vehicle batteries, solar panels and wind turbines, will be twice what it is today in the year 2040 (IEA). Thus, several nations, including India, have their eyes set on deep-sea mining. As many as 31 exploration licences have already been issued by the International Seabed Authority (ISA), sponsored by a total of 14 nations.
Deep-sea mining operations could present serious risks to ocean ecosystems. Commercial-scale operations of deep seabed mining in 2024 may come at the expense of cetaceans like whales, dolphins and porpoises, a study has found.
The huge machines and vessels involved in the process may cause noise, air pollution and vibration, and result in fluid leaks and discharges from vessels and equipment. Together, these will further contaminate the marine environment.
Considering these risks, some companies are in support of the World Wildlife Fund's call to avoid minerals that have been mined from the planet's oceans. Many countries-including France, Germany and several Pacific Island nations- have officially called for a ban on deep sea mining until environmental safeguards are in place.
According to a report from the EJF (Environmental Justice Foundation), deep-sea mining is not needed for clean energy transition. It predicted that a combination of a circular economy, new technology and recycling could cut cumulative mineral demand by 58% between 2022 and 2050.
Norway’s government does not intend to immediately start drilling for critical minerals. Instead, companies will need to submit proposals for licences that will be voted on a case-by-case basis in the parliament. The Norway Institute of Marine Research (IMR) said that the government had made assumptions from a small area of research and applied it to the whole area planned for drilling. It estimates a further five to 10 years of research into impacts on species is needed.
Norway’s push to open up its seabed for mining comes as international negotiations continue on whether to permit commercial harvesting of the sea floor in mineral rich areas outside of countries’ national jurisdiction. There are huge environmental implications for digging up seafloor ecosystems as well as ethical ones.
As far as international waters are concerned, the ISA now has until 2025 to finalise regulations that could decide whether and how countries can mine the deep sea in international waters.

On July 10, 2023, the International Seabed Authority (ISA) began a three-week-long discussion in Jamaica. Talks such as these are crucial as controversial proposals to allow deep-sea mining are set to take centre stage. Moreover, many nations and private institutions are proposing deep sea mining as a source to extract minerals to promote the world’s push for green technology.
So, let’s take a look into this.
Deep-sea mining involves extracting ores rich in cobalt, manganese, zinc and other rare metals from the sea floor. These rare metals build batteries for electric vehicles, smartphones and laptops.
Several nations, including India, have their eyes set on deep-sea mining. However, experts have raised an alarm over the potentially harmful impacts on ocean biodiversity.
“There is not enough rigorous scientific information available concerning the biology, ecology and connectivity of deep-sea species and ecosystems, or all the ecosystem services they provide, and Without this information, one could not understand the potential risks of the mining activity for deep-ocean biodiversity, ecosystems and human well-being,”
Jessica Battle, Expert on global ocean governance and policy, The World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF)
The debate regarding deep sea mining was triggered by Nauru, a tiny island northeast of Australia after formally requesting a commercial licence from the ISA in 2021.
In doing so, it gave the ISA a 2-year deadline to develop regulations for deep-sea mining. That deadline was July 9, 2023. Some 18 states have taken positions against deep-sea mining in international waters. They are calling for a pause or moratorium on the practice over environmental concerns and could be given the chance to vote on a new ban over the next month. The supporters, on the other hand, argue that these minerals are needed if the world is to meet the demand for green technologies. The International Energy Agency has projected that achieving net-zero global greenhouse gas emissions would see mineral demand quadruple for clean energy technologies. But Scientists fear a possible "gold rush" for precious metals beneath the oceans could have a huge impact on marine life, especially in the form of noise and light pollution.
Whatever happens in Jamaica, the decisions made at these ISA meetings will be pivotal in shaping the future of deep-sea mining regulations.
