European Innovation Partnership on

Raw Materials

ENTR G3

The Context A matter of survival in a globalised world

• European Raw Materials Strategy

• Innovation Union

• Innovation required for the entire value chain of raw materials – industrial approach

=> European Innovation Partnership on Raw Materials COM(2012) 82 final - 29 February 2012

ENTR G3

Objectives

• Reduce import dependency

• Push Europe to the forefront in raw materials sectors

• Provide alternatives in supply

• Mitigate negative environmental impacts

ENTR G3

2020 targets

• Up to 10 innovative pilot actions, e.g. demonstration pilot plants → exploration, mining,

processing, collecting and recycling

• Substitutes for at least 3 applications of critical raw materials

• Network of Research, Education and Training Centres on sustainable raw materials management

• EU standardised instruments for the survey of resources/reserves and 3-D geological map

• dynamic modelling of trends: link demand and supply with reserves and complete LCA

• Pro-active strategy of EU at bilateral and multilateral level

ENTR G3

Key components

• Technology-focused policy areas • R&D and Innovation coordination • Technology for primary/secondary production • Substitution

• Non Technology policy areas

• Improving framework conditions

• Waste management excellence

• Knowledge, skills and Raw. Mat. flows

• International cooperation

• EU international cooperation strategy

• Technology, Governance, H&S&E, Education, Investments

Ab Marsuppium Oy

European Innovation Partnership on Raw Materials

EIP Raw Mat will bring together EU Member States and other stakeholders

(companies, NGOs, researchers, etc.) to promote innovation along the entire value

chain of raw materials. This includes:

Exploration: to promote coordination and integration among the EU's Geological Surveys.

Extraction: to extract more deeply, in remoter areas and under harsher conditions, and to

ensure Europe retains the skills needed to do so.

Processing: to develop new technologies for efficient water management, energy

consumption and recycling.

Recycling: to introduce new cost-effective and environmentally-sound recycling techniques

and best practices regarding the collection and treatment of waste.

Substitution: to find alternative materials for certain applications, or to replace those

applications with an alternative technology not dependent on key raw materials.

What has happened since initiation of EIP Raw Mat ?

Proposal for a European Innovation

Partnership on Raw Materials 29.2.2012

• 1st Sherpa Meeting 23 January 2013

• 1st High Level Steering Group 12 February 2013

• 5 Work Groups meet regularly in January – June 2013

• Draft Strategic Implementation Plan May 2013

• Final draft SIP 23 July 2013

• High Level Steering Group to adopt SIP 25 September 2013

…followed by adoption by EC including funding

Ab Marsuppium Oy

Strategic Implementation Plan (draft 23.7.2013)

EU economy highly dependent on imports of ores and metals

Self-sufficient on construction minerals

Self-sufficient on wood based raw materials, but bio-based products needed

Totally dependent in imports of natural rubber

Knowledge on raw materials heterogeneous in EU

EU mineral potential is under explored

Mineral policies unclear

Permitting procedures lengthy

Public mistrust in mining

Trans-European Transport Network needs to be developed

Complex raw materials ask for innovation in processing and refining

Recycling of raw materials inside EU

Coordinate R&D in EU (institutions and industry)

International co-operation

Ab Marsuppium Oy

Sweden-Finland meeting in Kiruna July 2013

Joint Sweden-Finland-Poland

proposals to the SIP:

Promote EU mineral policy and exploration

Deep exploration (land based) in focus

Develop technology competitiveness

International policy & regulation “demonstrators” needed

CRM list to be updated continuously

Raw material logistics to be added (SO2 directive 2015)
