The Nippon Foundation is funding a three-year project to investigate the production of “dark” oxygen further.

The project will use custom-made rigs equipped with sensors that can be deployed to depths of 11,000 meters ( 36,089 feet ) The unprecedented natural phenomenon challenges the idea that oxygen can only be made from sunlight via photosynthesis.

New project will look into how hydrogen is released during the production of oxygen by the metallic nodules.

NASA officials are interested in the research on dark oxygen production because it could inform scientific understanding of how life might be sustained on other planets without direct sunlight.

The Metals Co. says it has submitted a rebuttal to Nature Geoscience , the journal that published the original research.
