The specific issue of critical raw materials

Evolution of the critical raw materials (Ag, As, Au, Be, Bi, Cd, Co, Ga, Ge, Ge, Hg, I, PGM, REE, Re, Se, Ta, V, W) production from

1900 to 2010 (source USGS)

• Specific interest in key elements that are critical for new technologies

Example: cell phone13% of Pd production11% of Co production3% of Ag production1% of other metals




Most of the raw material natural resources are located out of Europe




The key role played by China

% of China in the world production of 28 most important raw material (source: world mining data 2013, courtesy BRGM)

Strong dependence

towards China which aims to

strictly controls its exportation




Since the mid-2000s, numerous European Countries, and the European Union itself, have realized how dependent they have been on foreign imports to access non energetic raw materials. This dependence has been interpreted as a threat to

Europe’s industrial network and global competitiveness.

The European Geopolitics Context

Where can we find the 52 materials of BGS Risk List ?(source BGS 2011)



An increasing materials demand

• crucial for the sustainable functioning of the economy.

• Used in microprocessors, smartphones, LCD screens, batteries and low energy light bulbs,

• intrinsic part of today life

Strategic economic sectors in Europe, such as automotive, aerospace and renewable energy industries, highly depend on a few raw materials

industry demand is growing at impressive rates.

For REO, the demand has doubled every 8 years

Materials are called critical when their high economic importance is

combined with a high risk associated with their supply

The 20 EU "critical rawmaterials"

Identification of the EU most critical raw materials (May 2014, DG ENTR)



EIP-RM And SIP Challenges(European Innovation Partnership on Raw-Materials)

(Strategic Implementation Plan)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 processing of different raw materials from low grade and/or complex feeds.

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.



• To size this opportunity need for development of new extractive, mineral processing and metallurgical techniques.

• Techniques need not only to be efficient but also to take into account the economics and the environmental and societal aspects: sustainable processes

Strategic missions and objectives

| PAGE 19



1. Develop innovative technological solutions tooptimize raw materials & waste treatment

It is of paramount importance to extend the knowledgebase in processing and extractive metallurgy to optimizethe transformation of ore or waste stream into valuablematerials

2. Enhance EU skills in mineral processing andextractive metallurgy of ores and industrial residues

Industrial companies cannot afford employing all thespecialists required to support their activities. But theyneed these specialists to exist in Europe and they needto know where to find them. PROMETIA will provideaccess to these specialists.

3. In the longer term, boost the innovation capacity ofthe EU raw materials related sectors.

A Network, what for?

By training a new generation of skilledengineers and metallurgists, thenetwork will contribute to expand thefuture European innovation potential

Gathering Competences

Ensuring the availability of all the competences requiredto address all the value chain from mineral processing tometal recovery

The network will ensure that they are all covered throughits members. Contribution of pilot platforms and industryensures that all the TRLs are also covered.

Sharing the competence list between the partnersYou are looking for a specific competence? You will knowwhich member is able to help you through our privatewebsite. A brochure, describing the scientific skills andcompetences of each member will also be available.

Organizing dedicated workshops or working group toaddress a specific question

You need advice on a specific question? We can organize aworkshop with the relevant experts to answer you

The networks aims at gathering members from R&D, Pilot Platforms and Industry



Creating links between Research and Industry

Through the pilot platformsPilot platforms are the place where research meets industry. They are theperfect interface between the two communities

Organizing exchange meetings gathering Research and Industry on adedicated topic

On advice of the PROMETIA Boards, exchange meetings will be proposed

Scientific support to demonstration test on pilot platformsThe network can indicate you the partners who can help you to address anyR&D issues coming from a demonstration test

.



Easing the access to pilot platforms for R&D

Supporting a scientific concept to grow in the TRLA good scientific concept does not make a good process. It has to be combinewith engineering and scale-up. Exchanges with partners from pilot platforms andindustry is of paramount importance to address all the issues and grow in theTRL scale

Proposing a demonstration at a bigger scaleThanks to specific business models that will exist on some platforms, it will bepossible for an R&D lab to perform a test at a relevant scale on a pilot platform,after selection by the Pilot Platform Board.



Coordinating the R&D needs

Three boards for covering all the TRL scaleThe Scientific Board• advise PROMETIA and its members on the most promising and innovative

scientific issues of interest within the technical scope of the association (based ona survey of the international context, expectations and needs of the industry)

• advise PROMETIA and its members on the scientific relevancy of the R&D to becarried out with support of PROMETIA

• contribute to the labelling of projects eligible to enter the preparation phasemonitored/supported by PROMETIA

The Pilot Platform Board• ensure links with METNET (Network of independent pilot plant facilities) and

other similar initiatives, programmes or projects• identify and label projects ideas/processes potentially eligible for a demonstration

at one of the pilot platform• collect and/or identify scientific questions coming from the pilot platform and/or

its clients that could be addressed within PROMETIA by its members

The Industry Board• support PROMETIA and its members to define the generic transversal needs

coming from industrial expertise



Lobbying

High VisibilityAlready known by EIP-RM, PROMETIA will continue to increase its visibility at the Europe level,promote the R&D topics of interest for its partners and orient the European roadmaps.

To be developed towards public authorities.

Promoting the innovation in the mineral processing and extractive metallurgySupport the need for funding of targeted R&D on innovative, cost-effective and environmental-friendly new processes

A PROMETIA roadmap or Strategic AgendaSee “joint projects to come”

A good dissemination of its activities and the industrial and scientific communitiesThrough an appropriate communication plan



Getting funding and answering H2020 calls

Identifying funding opportunitiesFunding opportunities are numerous. we will help you to identify the most relevant ones.

PROMETIA as a pre-consortium tank for H2020 projectsThanks to the networking between the members, you will easily be able to build the core groupof your research project (of course not restricted to the members!), from mineral processing tometal purification, from academia to industries

Supporting the writing of a proposalWould you need help to improve your proposal? If your project is selected by PROMETIA, youcan get assistance for free.



Supporting specific training & education actions

Preparing the next generation of researchers and engineers is a keyissue for PROMETIA

PROMETIA will be able to support to organization of a T&E event,

You need a specific training? We can help you to organize it

Following a 2012 study of “l’observatoire pour la métallurgie”, in 2020 in France• More 30000 jobs will be created in “metallurgy and metallic product manufacturing”• There will be an increase in qualified jobs compared to 2010

• +10% for engineers• +4% for technicians• -40% for unskilled workers

Coordination and Support Action

Waste-4d - towards near-zero waste at european and global level (21/04/2015 updated)

Raw materials partnerships: Creation of a common multi-stakeholder platform focused on a limited number of key raw materials across their whole value chain. This should involve partners from across the value chain, including mining, processing, recycling, application, public sectors (national/regional/local) and civil society, while respecting the conditions of each value chain. The action shall support implementation of the EIP on Raw Materials.

In line with PROMETIA objectivesPROMETIA Members will answer the call

It will be an additional support for covering theirin-kind contribution to the network activities








An information from DG Enterprise and Industry on the 2015 call Waste-4d (from the info-day on October 27th)

• The project must involve Stake-Holders

• Focus on some Raw Materials (“a kind of ERECON on other systems”)

• Cover all the value chain

• It is up to us to prove the interest to address these RW



Research and Innovation Action

SC5-11e-2015: New solutions for sustainable production of raw materials (21/04/2015 updated)

New metallurgical systems : Proposals should develop a design and elements of an integrated sustainable metallurgical system (including pyro-, hydro-, bio-, electro-chemistry) for metals processing and refining, maximizing metal recovery yield and minimizing energy consumption and the environmental footprint, while ensuring the economic viability of the entire process. Upstream (pre-processing) and down-stream (treatment/use of metallurgical wastes such as slags, dusts, effluents) interfaces should also be considered..

In line with the skills of PROMETIA MembersSome partners already leading a proposal

Strong links with pilot platforms




SC5-13d - Raw materials research and innovation coordination (21/04/2015 updated)

improving both research and innovation collaboration among all the relevant European Technology Platforms and other industrial and research initiatives, improving coordination with the relevant EU, Member States and regional policies and initiatives in the area of raw materials, engaging all the relevant players, particularly civil society and authorities at regional and local level, across the whole EU. The action should developing a common long term 2050 vision and roadmap for the relevant raw materials, including metals, industrial minerals and aggregates, wood and natural rubber-based materials.

PROMETIA could contribute partially

To be discussed with ETP-SMR



Innovation Action

SPIRE 7 – 2015: Recovery technologies for metals and other minerals (04/02/2015 updated)

Development of processes for an effective and efficient recovery of (metals), from primary sources or from waste streams of the current industrial processes. Novel integrated recovery processes should result in increased resource efficiency and sustainability for the European industry, allowing the recovery of significant amount of metals and other minerals, even from low concentration streams. This should lower the dependency on imports of these materials, sheltering Europe from possible shortages in supply and reducing production costs and environmental impacts.new approaches combining several existing techniques (e.g. precipitation, adsorption, extraction, physical or biological treatment and separation) or new alternative solutions could provide a cost-effective way to achieve major improvements in the efficiency of recovery operations for metals and other minerals, leading to waste reduction and minimizing the environmental impact of industrial operations.

A feedback from DG Enterprise and Industry on the 2014 call for Innovation Actions (from the info-day on October 27th)

• The proposals submitted in 2014 addressed too pre-mature processes

• Most of the time, the industry partner identified as the potential customer of the process, and/or the one who should host the demonstration was not part of the consortium

• A large scale demonstration in operational environment must be proposed

• It is not anymore the place for basic research

• Explain how the business will look like after the project
