. I’ve been following the progress of The Metals Company since before they changed their name from Deep Green. To recap, I’ll briefly share what their focus is.
“We’re only impacting the top 5 cm of the ocean floor. The way I like to frame it is that if we took a step back and took a planetary perspective and if we had our time again, it would make sense to carry out extractive industry in parts of the planet where there’s the least life. We wouldn’t naturally go to our biodiverse rainforests where there’s a lot of biomass and which serve as huge carbon sinks. We’d go to the deserts, and that’s where we are.
Allseas and The Metals Company have been working closely together to develop this pilot system since 2019. Allseas designed and constructed the pilot nodule collector vehicle, which was deployed and lowered to the seafloor at depths of 2,470 meters. This, the company noted, marked the first time that the vehicle has experienced extreme deep-water temperatures and pressures.
This confirmed the robot’s ability to operate in both pressure and temperature conditions that are similar to those in the areas it will collect nodules from an area of the Clarion Clipperton Zone of the Pacific Ocean which is owned by the company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Nauru Ocean Resources Inc. .
Right. As if scraping the ocean floor will not be harming the environment.
