A comprehensive approach for a techno-economic assessment of nodule mining in the deep sea

Abstract: Mine planning of land-based mineral deposits follows well-established methods. The deep sea is currently under exploration, but mine planning approaches are still lacking. A spatial planning tool to assess the techno-economic requirements and implications of manganese nodule mining on deep-sea deposits is proposed in this paper. The comprehensive approach has been validated using research findings of the Blue Mining project, which received funding from the European Commission. A part of the German exploration … Show more

“…An analysis of biogeochemical processes confirmed the very low POC fluxes to the seafloor at APEI no. 3 (1 mg C m −2 d −1 ) and found respiration rates that were 2fold lower than in the exploration areas of the mesotrophic zone (Volz et al, 2018). APEI no.…”

“…APEI no. 3 was also characterized by higher clay content, which may be caused by lower sedimentation rate and a different sedimentation regime (Hauquier et al, 2019;Volz et al, 2018). Polychaete assemblages in APEI no.…”
