Developing raw materials into a major strength for Europe 🇪🇺 #ConnectingMatters
Info
Minerals, metals and advanced materials are key enablers to achieve the objectives of the European Green Deal. Today, only a fraction of the most relevant raw materials is produced in Europe. This can be changed through a circular economy approach, through innovation in recycling, substitution, processing, mining, and exploration. It is the objective of EIT RawMaterials to secure a sustainable raw materials supply by driving innovation, education, and entrepreneurship across European industrial ecosystems. EIT RawMaterials provides a collaborative environment for disruptive and breakthrough innovations by connecting business with academia, research, and investment. It also invests in future generation of innovators for the raw materials sector through initiatives ranging from education of school students to higher qualifications for industry professionals. The company is committed to supporting Europe’s transition towards a circular, green, and digital economy whilst strengthening its global competitiveness and securing employment. On this foundation, EIT RawMaterials has been mandated by the European Commission to lead and manage the European Raw Materials Alliance (ERMA). EIT RawMaterials is an Innovation Community within the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT).

"Mining can’t change the past, but the industry can work to find ways to partner much more closely with society to enhance our futures." - Sinead Kaufman. We had the pleasure of interviewing Sinead Kaufman, Chief Executive of the Minerals product group at Rio Tinto, where she shared her insights on the evolution of the European mining industry over the past three decades. She talked about the significant strides in ESG standards, the challenges ahead, and the importance of radical transparency in the industry. As a leader overseeing operations across three continents, Sinead emphasised the need for meaningful consultations with communities, especially on environmental impacts. Read the full interview the full interview here: https://lnkd.in/egqNYf5F Sinead was a featured speaker at this year’s Raw Materials Summit, and planning for the next Summit is already underway. Mark your calendars for May 13-15 to ensure you’re part of the conversation that’s shaping our future! #Mining #Sustainability #ESG #Leadership #RawMaterialsSummit #RioTinto

This week, the International Symposium on Beyond Li-Ion Batteries is bringing together the global scientific community at the Università degli Studi di Padova (UNIPD) / University of Padua to share groundbreaking research in materials for next-generation batteries. Roland Gauß, Head of Innovation and Business Intelligence at EIT RawMaterials, shared his insights on steering the battery revolution to secure Europe’s sustainable energy future. In his speech, he highlighted three critical points: 🔹 Raw Materials are the key driver of a battery cell’s environmental footprint. At EIT RawMaterials, we are leading the charge with projects that focus on reducing the impact of raw material extraction and processing, essential steps for decarbonising supply chains. 🔹 Material Choices fundamentally influence both the cost and the viability of a Circular Economy in the battery sector. The choices we make today are shaping the business cases of tomorrow. 🔹 Long-term Investment and a robust Industrial Policy are crucial. The EU must invest collectively across the entire battery value chain to maintain global leadership and achieve full decarbonisation by 2050. EIT RawMaterials is proud to be a supporter, investor, and partner in driving innovations in the battery sector to help build a sustainable, responsible future for generations to come. #BeLI24 #BatteryInnovation #BatteryRevolution #EnergyStorage #Innovation #EITRawMaterials #CircularEconomy #ERAMET #EuGeLi #HiQCarb #EMagy #ReLieve #CellCircle #FraunhoferISC #KULeuven #CRMA #ERMA #EBA #UniversitadiPadova

The future of solar energy is bright, but what happens when PV panels reach the end of their lifecycle? With an average lifespan of 25-30 years, we're on the brink of a significant influx of solar panel waste. Italian startup 9-Tech is tackling this challenge head-on by transforming this waste into valuable raw materials. As CEO Pietrogiovanni Cerchier says: “It makes no sense to see these raw materials, which cost a lot of energy, time and effort to be extracted, purified and modified, go to landfills.” With innovative technology, the company’s recycling solution recovers up to 90% of the silver, 95% of silicon and nearly 100% of glass and metals from panels. We’re proud to support 9-Tech on its journey. Read more about their innovation here: https://lnkd.in/eFeHDAHz #SolarEnergy #Innovation #Circularity #Startups
