Amazon Web Services will be the first customer for Nuton Technologies, which developed the &#34;bioleaching&#34; technology. AWS will also be providing &#34;cloud-based data and analytics support,&#34; helping to optimize Nuton's mining process. Nuton's bioleaching method uses naturally-occurring microorganisms to extract copper from low-grade ore that would otherwise be too expensive to mine, while also using less water and producing less carbon emissions than traditional mining methods.

亞馬遜

亞馬遜計劃購買通過 Nuton Technologies 開發的生物浸出工藝提取的銅，用於其數據中心。該方法利用微生物從低品位礦石中提取銅，相較於傳統採礦，使用更少的水併產生更少的碳排放，從而更環保。亞馬遜網絡服務將成為首位客户，並將提供基於雲的數據和分析支持，以增強 Nuton 的採礦運營
