Who are the operators shaping the new frontier in critical minerals? Who is underwriting the industry?
Who’s really shaping the ~$20trn deep sea mining scramble?
The ocean floor is emerging as the next critical mineral frontier. Its vast deposits of cobalt, nickel, manganese, copper, and rare earths could reshape access and control.
Technical and commercial constraints remain, and there are serious questions for marine environments and local communities. But geopolitics and an intense drive to diversify critical mineral supplies are driving a sharp acceleration in development and interest.
TSC.ai partnered with the subject matter experts at the Advisory Committee on Protection of the Sea, to map this accelerating space - and what it means for critical minerals, subsea infrastructure, and the wider blue economy.
