Allseas and TMC subsidiary NORI recently wrapped up the first integrated #nodule collection system trials in the CCZ since the 1970s, collecting roughly 4,500 tonnes of nodules and lifting over 3,000 tonnes up a 4.3km-long riser to the surface. The pilot system will next be upgraded to a production capacity of 1.3 million tonnes per annum ahead of our first commercial project, Project Zero. Learn more about the pilot system trials from Allseas engineers themselves in this short video. #deepsea #offshore #batterymetals #nickel #cobalt

The Metals Company will enable the battery-powered shift to electric vehicles with the lightest planetary touch.
About us
The Metals Company was founded in 2021 through the merger of DeepGreen and the Sustainable Opportunities Acquisition Corporation, to scale nodule collecting and onshore processing systems. We produce metals from polymetallic rocks to power electric vehicles. For over a decade, we’ve been exploring the planet’s largest known deposit of battery-grade metals: nodules on the seafloor of the Clarion Clipperton Zone in the Pacific Ocean. During this time, our onshore team has developed and successfully deployed a metallurgical system to derive key battery-grade metals from these remarkable rocks while generating zero solid processing waste. Our team is made up of scientists, environmentalists, engineers, architects, and business leaders who see the climate crisis as the biggest challenge of our time. Electric vehicles and renewable energy are a key part of the solution, but scaling these technologies will require hundreds of millions of tons of new metals. Polymetallic nodules represent the cleanest source of battery grade metals on the planet and the best path forward.

As befits a Common Heritage resource, public engagement is key and new technologies can help connect people with these environments. We continue to iterate on our innovative Digital Twin to provide the regulator and stakeholders with eyes and ears on our operations. #deepseamining #adaptivemanagement #digitaltwin #energytransition #criticalminerals #offshore #nickel #cobalt #copper #manganese

For almost 40 years, Allseas have pioneered innovative solutions to achieve what many said couldn't be done. From lifting platforms to lifting seafloor nodules, they are the perfect partner to bring our emerging industry to life. #deepseamining #energytransition #criticalminerals #offshore #engineering #innovation
🚀𝗟𝗶𝗳𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗴𝗶𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀 – 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗲𝗿𝗮 The single-lift removal of the 𝟯𝟬,𝟬𝟬𝟬 𝘁𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝘀 Brent Charlie on 9 July 2024 by Allseas’ heavy lift vessel 𝙋𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙚𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙎𝙥𝙞𝙧𝙞𝙩, represents the heaviest offshore lift ever performed, and concludes years of engineering and planning.

The four metals contained in nodules are critical not just for the energy transition, but will support the ongoing industrialisation of the developing world and global population growth. In a new global criticality ranking published by International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) and the Norwegian Institute of International Affairs (NUPI), nickel, copper, cobalt and manganese received 'most critical' status from a broader list of 45 minerals.

The Republic of Nauru has been sponsoring NORI’s offshore exploration efforts for over a decade. During the recent UN General Assembly meetings in New York, we were privileged to sit down for an interview with H.E. President Adeang to discuss Nauru’s past, and why nodules must be part of its future. https://lnkd.in/dKreqd-b #deepseamining #energytransition #criticalminerals #development #offshore #research

The Metals Company reposted this
Thank you to the Earthshot Foundation and OurEnergyPolicy (especially Chase Weir and Jordan Crowe!) for the opportunity to make a case for seabed mining at the Terranaut Minologues. The case for #nodule mining has been clear for over 40 years, the arguments now intensified. We look to political and industrial leaders to make data-based, science-driven decisions. To question speculation. The relative human and environmental costs of decarbonizing our planet depend on it. https://lnkd.in/eeCigayK https://lnkd.in/eXTP-QDu

Our projects aim to deliver a net positive impact on people and the planet when compared to the alternatives. That's why we've commissioned several resource and project specific lifecycle assessments since 2019, so that we can account for the full stack of our impacts and address these hotspots prior to commercial production. https://lnkd.in/e9ZU5fpb #deepseamining #energytransition #criticalminerals #supplychain #lifecycle #impacts #data #nickel #copper #cobalt #copper #manganese
