EU and the electric revolution – two main drivers

1. Geopolitically important to focus on raw material sourcing within EUDespite major automotive industry only 2 percent of batteries needed in EU are produced in the region

2. Sustainability focus driving local production and sourcing of raw materialTo achieve EU goal to be climate neutral 2050 – EU commission says Europe to be the global leader in sustainable battery production

Smart, Sustainable and Safe MINE operations: towards integrated innovative solutions to secure a self-sufficient European raw materials based economy

(S3-MINE)

Programme - Call H2020 SC5-10-2019-2020 “Raw materials innovation actions: exploration and Earth observation in support of sustainable mining”

Type of action Innovation Action (IA) Deadline First stage – 13th February 2020

Second stage – 3rd September 2019 Link to info https://ec.europa.eu/info/funding-tenders/opportunities/portal/screen/opportunities/topic-

THE CALLSPECIFIC CHALLENGE

Securing the sustainable access to raw materials, including metals, industrial minerals and construction raw materials, and particularly Critical Raw Materials (CRM), is of high importance for the EU economy. Substitution provides an alternative approach to reduce the EU’s consumption of CRMs and decrease the relative dependence upon imports as well as related adverse environmental impact, and therefore ensures the sustainable supply of critical raw materials to the EU.

The challenge for industry is to scale up promising technologies raw materials production or substitution of critical raw materials, and to demonstrate that raw materials can be produced in an innovative and sustainable way in order to ensure that research and innovation end up on the market, to strengthen the competitiveness of the European raw materials industries, to meet the ambitious energy and climate targets for 2030, to minimise environmental impacts and risks and to gain the trust of EU citizens in the raw materials sector.

This specific challenge addresses a major target of the European Innovation Partnership (EIP) on Raw Materials: the development of "innovative pilot actions"[1] (subtopic c. Mining Pilots).

SCOPE

Actions should develop innovative pilots demonstrating clean and sustainable production or substitution of non-energy non-agricultural raw materials in the EU, finishing at Technology Readiness Levels (TRL) 6-7.

All actions should contribute to achieving the objectives and targets of the EIP on Raw Materials and to building the EU knowledge base of primary and secondary raw materials by feeding into the EC Raw Materials Information System – RMIS.

Actions should also contribute to improving the awareness of relevant external stakeholders and the general public across the EU about the importance of raw materials for society, the challenges related to their supply within the EU and about proposed solutions which could help to improve society's acceptance of and trust in sustainable raw materials production in the EU, duly taking into account the applicable EU environmental legislation.

All actions should facilitate the market uptake of solutions developed through industrially- and user-driven multidisciplinary consortia covering the relevant value chain and consider standardisation aspects when relevant.

All proposals should justify the relevance of the selected pilot demonstrations in different locations within the EU (and also outside if there is a clear added value for the EU economy, industry and society).

A non-profit organization whose main task is to expand the concept of

"development" in the mining and minerals industry.

The purpose is to ensure that all Europeans benefit from safer traffic, cleaner vehicles

and more sustainable technological solutions. All this will be achieved by

creating a competitive and sustainable battery cell manufacturing value chain in

Europe.

The primary objective of S3-MINE is the development and implementation of

mining pilot programmes at ten different facilities in six different EU countries. The

focus of this partnership is on Mining industry, related industries and services

and global value chains.
