Zitat:"The EU has launched a major project involving an international consortium of 14 industry and research organisations aimed at the sustainable harvesting of polymetallic nodules from the deep ocean.
Called Blue Nodules, the project will be led and co-ordinated by Netherlands-based shipbuilder and offshore products innovator Royal IHC, with operational expertise provided by Belgian dredging and offshore giant DEME Group.
Part of the ‘Horizon 2020’ programme, the four-year project aims to accelerate innovations to harvest the nodules, which occur at water depths up to 6,000 m in most oceans around the world and contain large quantities of critical raw materials, such as nickel, copper, cobalt, and manganese, as well as gallium and rare earth elements.
