      <image:title>Articles - Deep-Sea Minerals Could Help Power the Global Energy Transition - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>Figure 1. The global energy transition is increasingly constrained by access to critical minerals. Rising demand for copper, nickel, cobalt, and manganese places pressure on existing supply chains, creating a mineral bottleneck that limits decarbonization and necessitates diversified sources, including recycling and deep-sea polymetallic nodules.</image:caption>
