It then went public in 2021 through a special purpose acquisition company, or SPAC, and is looking to establish deep sea mining as a business. "Voices against deep sea mining have never been so loud — from the fishing sector to financiers, indigenous peoples, scientists and big business." In addition, the findings of the study do not mean that Benchmark is endorsing deep sea mining, she added. Deep sea mining won't replace land-based mining, but rather will simply add another source of minerals, she said in March. Regardless, Singh says, there is a lot of work yet to be done by members of the council to establish regulations before any deep sea mining commences.

Shipping company A.P. Moller-Maersk is selling its stake in deep-sea mining firm The Metals Company, even as the legal process to allow seabed mining approaches its final stages. The shipping company held more than 9% of TMC in 2021, according to data from FactSet and has been an investor in the company since 2017. TMC is one of the biggest proponents of deep-sea mining and is the most active company within the space, being the first to complete pilot testing. TMC and other deep-sea mining firms have come under fire over worries that the practice will harm the seabed environment.

Proponents say that deep-sea mining there is a less damaging way to gather metals like nickel, copper, manganese and cobalt. Opponents of deep-sea mining say there is not enough information to make that kind of decision. Critics of the idea of deep-sea mining have said the process is being rushed. That's what's behind the drive for diversity of supply on land-based mining, as well as exploration of alternatives such as deep-sea mining." Finding consensus for the Wild West of the seaOpponents of deep-sea mining want to tap the brakes.

The International Seabed Authority, a United Nations observer organization, is drawing up a regulatory framework for deep-sea mining based on data collected from explorations conducted by TMC and other ventures to inform its decisions. PREVIEWThe ISA is expected to meet member nations in March, when deep-sea exploration and its regulations are expected to be discussed. TMC started conducting pilot testing in September 2022 to determine whether deep-sea mining would harm the environment. For most mining companies, exploration licenses usually are a significant step in attracting funds, but the lack of clarity around the legality of deep-sea mining is creating a barrier. TMC remains key but not imperative to the lobbying push to change or confirm regulations on mining of the deep sea, industry participants said.

Rusia și Germania spun că este o inițiativă pur comercială, menită să satisfacă în viitor cererea mai mare de gaze din Europa. Acest lucru a forțat Gazprom să găsească și să-și pregătească propriile nave pentru a așeza restul de 120 km de conductă pe fundul mării. Noile sancțiuni SUA adoptate luna aceasta se aplică și companiilor care asigură și certifică operațiunile de instalare a conductelor, complicând în continuare eforturile Gazprom. În timp ce conducta este deținută în totalitate de Gazprom, jumătate din costul său a fost asigurat de cinci companii din UE: Shell, Uniper, OMV, Wintershall și Engie. De asemenea, proiectul a fost susținut cu fermitate de Berlin.

SUA, susținute de Polonia și alte state din estul UE, spun că Nord Stream 2 este un proiect politic menit să sporească dependența Europei de Moscova și să ocolească conductele deja existente prin Ucraina. Acest lucru a forțat Gazprom să găsească și să-și pregătească propriile nave pentru a așeza restul de 120 km de conductă pe fundul mării. Noile sancțiuni SUA adoptate luna aceasta se aplică și companiilor care asigură și certifică operațiunile de instalare a conductelor, complicând în continuare eforturile Gazprom.

Трубоукладочная баржа "Фортуна" с 15 января 2021 года, как ожидается, начнет укладку труб по двум параллельным веткам газопровода "Северный поток - 2" в исключительной экономической зоне Дании. Планируется, что баржа "Фортуна" уложит 2,6 км трубопровода в исключительной экономической зоне Германии до конца 2020 года. Затем начнется строительство последнего участка "Северного потока - 2" в территориальных водах Дании. Проект "Северный поток - 2" предполагает строительство двух ниток газопровода общей мощностью 55 млрд куб. Работы были приостановлены в декабре 2019 года после того, как швейцарская Allseas отказалась от укладки труб из-за возможных санкций со стороны США.

Проект "Северный поток – 2" важен для Германии, в том числе и на фоне перехода на возобновляемые источники энергии, использование газопровода будет актуально минимум до 2050 года, сообщил начальник отдела экономики посольства ФРГ в России Маттиас Денер. "Правительство Германии исходит из того, что строительство газопровода будет окончено", - цитирует Денера РИА Новости. Он также добавил, что "Северный поток – 2" активно обсуждается во внутренней политике Германии, в том числе и в связи с вопросами энергетического перехода. "Многие говорят, что, так как мы переходим на возобновляемые источники энергии, зачем нам нужен газопровод. "Северный поток – 2" предполагает строительство двух ниток газопровода общей мощностью 55 миллиардов кубометров газа в год от побережья России через Балтийское море до Германии.
