TMC’s first Impact Report provides a forward-looking view of the impacts of our expected operations and efforts to reduce or eliminate these before a single nodule is commercially collected, in line with our commitment to create a net-positive planetary impact. The report outlines the case for polymetallic nodules in the Clarion-Clipperton Zone as an alternative, large-scale supply of potentially lower-impact nickel, cobalt, copper and manganese, as compared with terrestrial sources, and how we plan to use nodule-derived metals to build up recyclable stocks of battery materials as the basis of a future circular metals economy.
