The Geological Survey of Estonia is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of the Environment and is primarily engaged in mineral resource and groundwater research, as well as the geological mapping of Estonia. Future research will aim to further estimate deposits of raw material for power purposes in regions of concern.

The main focus of the 2019-2024 Strategic Plan is aimed at gathering, systematizing and using sustainable knowledge about the earth's crust and to ensure environmentally sustainable economic development in Estonia. The strategy document outlines the following key objectives:

Collection of geological information, geological mapping of terrestrial and marine areas, along with analysis, management and access to the information collected.

Management of the geological resources and the exploitation of the earth's resources.

Preparation of reliable and cost-effective assessments of the impacts of the use of natural resources and of the extraction and use of natural resources.

Developing the knowledge base for exploiting and maximising the use of mineral resources.

Ensuring the proper preservation of geological material and its availability for study at the Arbavere geological survey centre.

Becoming an internationally recognised centre of excellence in the field of oil and gas.

In 2023, the Geological Survey of Estonia launched a three year research project on the economic potential and environmental impacts of valorisation of phosphorite, rare earth elements and related resources in the country. Building on previously conducted spatial analysis to identify potential prospective exploration areas, new additional funding of 6.1 million euros will be used to further the development of technologies for the extraction and valorisation of raw materials and on supply chain analysis.

Oil Industry Braces for Years-Long Iran War

Oil producers, traders, and refiners are bracing for a prolonged war between the United States and Iran in the Persian Gulf with little to no hope of a quick resolution. By extension, they are also preparing for higher prices for longer, a theme present at this year’s edition of the Asia Pacific Petroleum Conference. Reuters’ Clyde Russell reported this week that the mood at APPEC was not particularly cheerful as hostilities in the Middle East escalate once again, suggesting achieving peace would be quite a challenge. The Reuters columnist…

Stolen Electricity is Powering Illegal Crypto Farms Across the Globe

Electricity theft is a global problem, and it’s getting more dire all the time. While the problem is most common in developing countries, where grid infrastructure is limited and utilities and state authorities have lower oversight capacities, developed countries are not immune either. This theft can occur in many forms and at many scales, from individuals tapping into power lines to power their individual residences to large-scale and sophisticated theft schemes to power entire cryptocurrency mining farms. Just this week, Mexican authorities…

The Race to Solve Nuclear Energy’s Biggest Problem

Nuclear power is growing in popularity once again as governments worldwide look to diversify their energy mix and reduce reliance on fossil fuels. Several countries are now looking to develop or expand their nuclear energy capacity over the coming decades. However, one challenge remains – nuclear waste. Disposing of waste materials from nuclear energy operations remains a complex task with no perfect solution. As countries worldwide have grown their nuclear power capacity, many governments are still struggling to decide on the best solution…

Iran’s Security Crackdown Runs Into Resistance From Within

Iran's parliament is trying to turn fears of foreign infiltration into law. But as lawmakers work through the legislation, the debate is exposing an increasingly awkward question for the Islamic Republic: How far should the state go in policing Iranians' contact with the outside world? At the center of that debate is Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, who, at least publicly, is doing a balancing act. He has defended the need for tougher measures against foreign infiltration while warning that the current draft of the legislation goes too…

Why More Homes Are Switching From Gas to Heat Pumps

Heat pumps are becoming an increasingly popular alternative to gas-powered central heating systems and are increasingly being used in new construction, often driven by government incentives. A heat pump uses technology similar to that found in a refrigerator or an air conditioner, extracting heat from a source, such as the surrounding air, and amplifying and transferring the heat to where it is needed. As most of the heat is transferred rather than generated, heat pumps are far more efficient than conventional heating technologies such as boilers…
