Learn about our novel approach to harvesting from the seabed with an AUV with unique hovering capabilities and specialized arms to gently collect nodules, aiming to minimize sediment suspension and ultimately create no plume: https://zurl.co/pBnj

Minimizing Sediment Plume: Innovating AUV Technology for Polymetallic Nodule Collection At Impossible Metals, our goal is to harvest critical metals from the seafloor with minimal impact on the ecosystem. Our end effector testing and optimization is one of the ways that we are working toward that goal.

Climate change is a global crisis & the Paris Agreement to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and reduce the temperature change to 2 degrees Celsius by 2050 requires a massive transformation of our energy system, and massive amounts of critical metals for producing batteries. But the demand for battery critical metals will increase by 500% by 2050.

In Part 1 of this Forbes Business article, our CEO and cofounder Oliver Gunasekara explores 2 of the 3 potential solutions to solve the upcoming battery shortage.

“We’re never going to understand all the animals that live in the sediment. So we have to engineer in a way to protect them.”

The Sydney Morning Herald spoke with our cofounder and director Renee Grogan about our disruptive selective harvesting technology that hovers over the seabed and uses artificial intelligence originally developed for fruit picking to check if there is life on a nodule, harvesting only those that appear uninhabited.

Congressional Leaders Urge President Biden and Department of Defense to Consider Polymetallic Nodules for U.S. Critical Mineral Supplies and National Security Nine members of Congress urged the administration to “keep all options on the table, including deep-sea opportunities, in assessing polymetallic nodules as a viable resource to secure critical minerals and close national security vulnerabilities.”

The underwater mining process developed by Impossible Metals is akin to using tweezers rather than a bulldozer. This meticulous approach ensures that the extraction process is as environmentally friendly as possible, minimizing the negative impact on the ocean’s delicate ecosystems.

The future of deep sea mining is within reach, and underwater robots are leading the way towards a more sustainable and responsible approach to resource extraction.

"While there remain some questions about the costs and environmental effects in the search for new sources of metals, the many opportunities for a green future are unlikely to be met without seabed mining. Without access to the minerals needed to meet the demand for electric cars and reduce carbon emissions, our hoped-for green energy future will be in peril."

The author James Borton is a Senior Fellow at Johns Hopkins/SAIS Foreign Policy Institute.

Fighting by transitioning to a low-carbon economy requires immense amounts of critical metals & meeting the demand via mining poses significant challenges.

The ocean floor is mysterious and filled with life. Humans might turn it into a mine. Some environmental groups say ocean floor mining could have catastrophic consequences. Others say it's a part of Earth's green energy transition.

Under a proposed regulation unveiled by the California Air Resources Board new big rigs and other trucks will have to be zero-emissions in 2040 — ending their decades-long reliance on high-polluting diesel.

The proposed rule could put about 510,000 carbon-free medium & heavy-duty vehicles on California’s roads in 2035, increasing to 1.2 million in 2045 and nearly 1.6 million in 2050, according to the air board.

Currently there are only 1,943 zero emission medium and heavy duty vehicles on the state’s roads, and nearly all of them are buses.
