70-billion tonnes deposit will help in the manufacturing of fertilizers and batteries for years to come.
According to US estimates, the largest deposits of phosphate, around 50 billion tonnes, are located in the Western Sahara region, followed by those in China and Egypt .
Supply disruptions were already witnessed after the Russian invasion of Ukraine last year, and the EU regards phosphate as a "critical" raw material if not a strategic one. Currently, available technologies do not support drilling to depths of 14,000 feet, so the mining company has decided only to evaluate deposits in a third of the volume. i.e., a depth of nearly 5,000 feet .
This is also one of the reasons why phosphorous refining industries are currently located in countries such as China, Vietnam, and Kazakhstan, where the norms are less stringent. Thus, even though phosphorous might help facilitate the electrification of transport or conversion of solar energy into electricity, its production is not environment-friendly.to reduce the emissions from the process.
