Our Mission

Mission statement

GeoTechnic.Solutions  delivers  AI/GIS supported consulting for wind, geothermal and solar renewable energy projects so you can make data based investment decisions 

We deliver state of the art maps using the most advanced GIS (Geographic Information System) tools available. Whether it is to get investors or clients onboard, we use software tools like QGIS™   and ARCGIS Online™   to custom make high quality interactive maps that you can use to pitch your most convincing narrative.

Background 

Wer are running out of time for the energy transition, we need to deploy wind, geothermal and solar as fast as we can to keep the Paris Agreement goals in sight.

Mining  for resources in the oceans and the land is traditionally a dirty business. With often large negative impacts on local communities and ecosystems. In addition we become dependent on other nations to meet our demands. The Global South will also not remain in its role as exporter of  raw resources.

We are reaching the limits of sustainable planetary boundaries. Geology and ecology determine the boundaries  of resource extraction practices, in addition to socio-economic limits,

There are three forms of scarcity for resources: economic, physical and geo-politcal. Cobalt is a critical resource as it comes mainly from DR Congo. The EU depends for its gas from Russia and for rare metals largely from China, which impacts sovereignty

For future generations unequal distribution of rare metals deprives developing countries the necessary resources needed to industrialize.

We need to close the recycling loop for rare metals. Meeting the amounts of Lithium and other metals needed for the  energy transition, is not feasible only by recycling .

To realize the green industrial revolution and energy transition, we have collectively committed to the need for rare metals, a lot of them. To produce our wind-turbines, electrolysis , batteries , electric vehicles, solar panels , data centers etc etc . Design to recycle is currently not meeting the demand. 

The demand for rare metals  in Europe is projected to increase tenfold by 2050. For Lithium even sixtyfold. For Cobalt fifteen fold.

The clean-tech and digital sector are competing for the same supply of rare metals: Indium, Cobalt, Copper, Lithium, Nickel and other platinum-group metals (Palladium, Iridium etc)

Most metals for the EU have to be imported. How do we combine the need for metals with the support for local communities and ecosystems?

To  mine for new resources, men enter deep into the habitats of endangered wildlife . The corona crisis has demonstrated that the health of humankind is intertwined  with that of  ecosystems and animals.
