Manganese Nodule Mining and the Melbourne Treaty

When mining manganese nodules, a treaty called the Melbourne Treaty is established. According to scientific findings, mining manganese nodules reduces oxygen levels in the surrounding environment. Therefore, for every amount of manganese nodules mined, an equivalent amount of oxygen generation devices must be installed.

This oxygen generation technology has advanced alongside seabed city construction techniques and terraforming technology, aiming to preserve the marine ecosystem.

Oxygen Generation Device Specifications - Model: OxyCrab-X1

• Manufactured by Nautlix Inc., a leading big tech company specializing in advanced terraforming technologies and deep-sea infrastructure solutions.
• The devices are compact and lightweight enough to be installed by divers wearing crab suits, ensuring easy deployment in deep-sea environments.
• Constructed with a carbon fiber outer shell for maximum corrosion resistance and minimal weight.
• The internal structure is made from titanium, providing exceptional strength and durability under extreme underwater pressure.
• Designed to be highly efficient while maintaining a small footprint.
• Equipped with integrated hydrogen fuel cell batteries as their power source.

Power Source for Oxygen Generation Devices

Since these oxygen generators are relatively small, the power source should be hydrogen fuel cell batteries.

• The batteries need to be replaced every 6 months.
• This choice eliminates concerns about radioactive leakage, making it safe for the delicate marine environment.
• Hydrogen fuel cells generate power by using hydrogen extracted from water and produce clean byproducts like water and a small amount of heat.
• This makes them an eco-friendly and highly efficient power solution for maintaining oxygen levels.

Implementation and Future Prospects

• Establish a system for hydrogen fuel storage and supply.
• Design integrated operational protocols between the oxygen generation devices and power systems.
• Set up maintenance and replacement schedules for the batteries.
• Develop comprehensive safety management manuals.

By adopting this approach under the Melbourne Treaty, it encourages global cooperation to advance hydrogen production and supply infrastructure. This not only protects the ocean’s ecosystem but also promotes the growth of clean energy industries—a true win-win.
