Polymetallic nodules are naturally occurring rocks on the seafloor containing high concentrations of nickel, cobalt, copper, and manganese, which are critical for the energy transition, infrastructure, and development. The Metals Company (TMC) has successfully collected these nodules, proving the technology works and can be done efficiently and responsibly. These nodules could help build a new, secure, and more transparent supply chain, reducing dependence on China for critical minerals.
Polymetallic nodules contain high concentrations of critical metals: nickel, cobalt, copper, and manganese.
TMC has successfully collected over 3,000 tons of nodules, proving the technology's viability.
Nodules can help build a secure and transparent supply chain, reducing dependence on China.
Processing nodules into metal products at commercial scale with near-zero solid waste and no tailings.
