Recognizing the critical importance of water as a fundamental human right and indispensable resource, TSC developed innovative strategies and investment solutions to safeguard freshwater supplies for future generations. TSC's Project Greenland stewards more than 340 trillion liters super premium freshwater for drinking and green hydrogen uses in addition to carbon-capturing, highly fertile Greenland "glacial rock flour" for agricultural applications. These groundbreaking endeavors not only immediately address long-term freshwater supply and security concerns but also revolutionize the way freshwater resources are managed and distributed to water-stressed regions.
