Submission of Mining Project Authorization
We are thrilled to announce that we have finally submitted the mining project for authorisation! It has been a very long journey to reach this point. In order to define the mining works, we first had to design the experimental plant layout and undertake detailed civil engineering design. This was a significant challenge due to several confluent factors:
· Being a first-of-its-kind plant with severe operating conditions and great difficulty in locating suitable materials and construction procedures
· Being on La Gomera island, which has presented us with significant logistical challenges.
· Managing our budget for experimentation with both our initial 65 bar plant layout and our supercritical plant layout.
· Intending to reach TRL5 with our experimentation and demonstrate our significantly increased energy density with our new plant layout.
· Having to deal with an interdisciplinary design including mining, civil engineering, equipment, installations and control.
This is a major project for a pre-designed experimental plant capable of conducting experiments at 65 and 120 bar. The details of the civil engineering works have also been designed.09/07/2025
