As nations and industries grapple with the need for minerals essential to the global energy transition, the International Seabed Authority (ISA) finds itself at the epicenter of efforts to regulate this burgeoning industry.<\/p>\n<p>The most prominent among the three proposed types of deep-sea mining involves a colossal robot, dispatched from a support vessel, descending to the ocean floor. This intrepid robot delves to depths of approximately 5,000 meters, reaching the ocean\u2019s least explored frontier \u2014 the seafloor.Minerals essential for clean energy technologies are becoming scarcer on land, driving up mining costs and, consequently, the prices of EVs and electronics. This situation stands in stark contrast to the falling prices witnessed up to 2020. Notably, an EV requires six times more minerals than a conventional internal combustion engine vehicle.<\/p>\n<p>The hunger for minerals from electronics manufacturers threatens to outstrip existing supplies. For instance, copper demand is projected to double by 2050 to 53 million metric tons annually. However, the supply is expected to fall short by around 2.7 million metric tons unless new sources are unlocked, as estimated by S&amp;P Global consultancy. Deep-sea mining raises a slew of environmental concerns. Sediment plumes stirred up by robotic mining operations can disrupt marine migrations, potentially endangering marine life. The significance of polymetallic nodules within the ocean ecosystem remains poorly understood, and their regeneration process spans millions of years.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.environmentenergyleader.com\/2023\/12\/sea-mining-scrutiny\/\">Environment Energy Leader<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/7-452\/\">Balancing the Demand for Minerals and the Preservation of Ocean Ecosystems<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[7606,575,10403],"class_list":["post-119735","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-deep-sea-mining","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-minerals"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/119735","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=119735"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/119735\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=119735"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=119735"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=119735"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
