Norway has found minerals on its seabed that it believes can be used for the green energy transition AFP Companies are raring to explore the Arctic seabed off Norway, which could become the first country in Europe to allow deep-sea mining -- much to the dismay of environmentalists. The industry has already suffered a false start. Norway's parliament had voted massively in favour of deep-sea mining, experts had concluded there were significant resources to be extracted, and start-ups drawing on more than 50 years of offshore oil and gas experience were keen to begin operations.
