Report: Norwegian Deep Sea Mining: A New Frontier
A case study in the Deep Sea rush for critical minerals
The Norwegian Deep Sea Mining (DSM hereon) project is certainly one to keep an eye on. It serves, and will continue to serve, as the principal case study for all types of DSM, all over the world. This report examines the distinct but interlinked issues faced by DSM in Norway, from its initial demand due to the green transition to the various socio-economic and environmental impacts of such a project. Its overall purpose is to serve as a case study for this type of resource extraction, as humanity stretches the boundaries into the world’s periphery.
