A group of billionaires, including Jeff Bezos and Bill Gates, are
supporting a firm they believe could discover sustainable energy resources
beneath melting ice in the western section of Greenland.
Underneath Greenland's melting ice, KoBold Metals, an AI-powered mineral
exploration business, is searching for rare and valuable metals and minerals
that may be utilized to create sustainable batteries and electric
vehicles.
According to a KoBold Metals spokeswoman, "we are aiming for a finding that
will be one of the largest, most significant nickel and cobalt resources in
the world, perhaps capable of powering 100 million EVs."
Disko Island and the Nuussuaq Peninsula, where it is thought that the
minerals and metals for the batteries and electric cars reside in the hills
and valleys, are being explored by a team of 30 persons, including
geologists, geophysicists, and pilots.
On the exploration, KoBold is collaborating with Bluejay Mining. CNN was
the first media organization to get video of the team's operation in
Greenland, according to the article.
The KoBold representative stated that "fully electrifying the global
economy is our generation's greatest task." "Partnering with this diverse
group of top-tier investors will speed up our search for the essential
components for the EV revolution."
According to CNN, the team in Greenland is utilizing AI to discover
locations for drilling that can begin as early as next summer. The crew is
also collecting soil samples and scanning the layers under the surface with
helicopters and drones.
The effects and repercussions of the climate change in Greenland are
concerning, according to Bo Mller Stensgaard, CEO of Bluejay Mining, who
spoke to CNN. However, in general, climatic changes have made mining and
exploration in Greenland simpler and more accessible.
