Researchers modelled solid waste streams over the lifecycle of metal production, including mining, processing and refining, using a wide range of production pathways for both land ores and nodules.

Key Points: 
  • Researchers modelled solid waste streams over the lifecycle of metal production, including mining, processing and refining, using a wide range of production pathways for both land ores and nodules.
  • Meeting these goals would generate more than a six-fold increase in solid waste streams due to the continued decline in ore grades on land.
  • In our analysis, sediment plume is the single biggest waste stream that would be generated by metal production from nodules.
  • The forward-looking statements contained in this press release include, without limitation, statements that waste streams could be reduced by using deep-sea nodules.
