U.S. & EU Invest in Greenland's Mining and Geothermal Energy for Clean Tech
The United States and the European Union are investing in Greenland's mining sector and geothermal energy, aiming to boost the supply of critical minerals for clean energy technologies. A recent workshop in Copenhagen highlighted the strategic importance of Greenland's resources in meeting global demand and combating climate change.
Scientists gathered in March 2024 to discuss Greenland's subsurface structure and dynamics. They presented new insights into the lithosphere, emphasizing its role in natural resources and hazards. Improved models linking lithospheric processes with ice melt and climate predictions were also highlighted.
The workshop focused on reconciling disparate datasets and predictions regarding Greenland's lithospheric structure. This is crucial for accurate modeling of ice melting and climate. Both the EU and US signed agreements with Greenland to develop sustainable raw material value chains and boost geothermal energy. These efforts aim to ensure responsible exploration and development, benefiting local communities and protecting the environment.
Greenland's resources, particularly minerals and clean energy potential, are vital for global renewable energy transitions. The US and EU investments, along with collaborative research, will help meet global demand for critical minerals. This will support a sustainable future while ensuring environmental protections and benefits for Greenlandic communities.
