Norway is becoming unimaginably rich #geogprahy #interestingfacts #History
Did you know that Norway is on the brink of becoming unimaginably rich? Near Stavanger, an enormous deposit of phosphate rock has been discovered. This mineral is crucial for producing fertilizers, batteries, solar panels, and electric vehicles. Currently, around 70 percent of the global phosphate supply is concentrated in geopolitically sensitive areas like Morocco, China, Egypt, and Algeria. Norway's discovery of 70 billion tons positions the country as a potential world leader in phosphate production, with an estimated value of 24 trillion dollars—comparable to Saudi Arabia's remaining oil reserves.
Norway’s government pension fund is already worth a staggering 1.5 trillion dollars, approximately two hundred and seventy thousand dollars per person. However, this potential windfall comes with significant challenges. The European Union's strict environmental and economic regulations could impose stringent conditions on mining activities. Additionally, the technical complexities of extracting such a large deposit and the associated environmental risks could delay or limit production.
