"The rapid market adoption of these next generation batteries that don't use deep sea metals is transformational," said Jeanne Everett, Director of Operations of the Blue Climate Initiative.

Key Points: 
  • "The rapid market adoption of these next generation batteries that don't use deep sea metals is transformational," said Jeanne Everett, Director of Operations of the Blue Climate Initiative.
  • "These next generation batteries have swept the market and already represent a third of the global EV battery market.
  • As a result, deep sea mining of these metals is neither necessary, economically advantageous, or environmentally advisable."
  • Rowland added "Efforts to promote the mining of these metals in the deep ocean now serve neither manufacturers nor consumers, but only enterprises that have been established for the express purpose of deep sea mining."
