RawMat2023 – DAY 1 / ROOM 13 – Anna Michelle Asimakopoulou
Anna-Michelle Asimakopoulou praised the political dimension and practical value and application of the Act on Critical Mineral Raw Materials in dealing with the expected massive increase in demand and the high dependence on imports. This is particularly important for green, digital, space and defense applications. She specifically mentioned that mineral raw materials are vital for the development of key technologies that make our twin energy and digital transitions possible – such as wind power generation, hydrogen storage or batteries. By strengthening our cooperation with trusted trading partners worldwide we can reduce the EU’s current dependencies on one or just a few countries, while ensuring the highest level of supply chain diversification for our European businesses.[+] Show More

The plenary speech of Maria Nyberg, European Commission, DG for Internal Market, Industry, Entrepreneurship and SMEs, unit ‘Energy Intensive Industries, Raw Materials, Hydrogen”, entitled “European Critical Raw Materials Act Proposal …for a Regulation-establishing a framework for ensuring a secure and sustainable supply of critical raw materials”.
As stated by Maria Nyberg the European on Critical Mineral Raw Materials sets for the first-time targets for the extraction of strategic and critical mineral raw materials from EU primary and secondary mineral resources. The Act will reduce administrative decisions and simplify the permitting procedures for critical mineral raw materials projects in the EU. In addition, selected Strategic Projects will benefit from support for access to finance and shorter licensing timelines (24 months for mining licenses and 12 months for processing and recycling licenses). Also, Member States should adopt and implement national measures to improve data collection of various waste types, such as mining waste, in the direction of dynamic recycling and recovery from them of critical and strategic mineral raw materials.[+] Show More

The video of the welcome speech of Maximos Senetakis, Deputy Minister of Development “How Europe can win the race to secure its Critical Raw Material Needs” is now available (in …Greek).
Mr. Maximos Senetakis, in his opening speech, emphasized that critical mineral raw materials are the foundation on which modern technology and innovative entrepreneurship are built, and since the energy and digital transition is what we are looking for, we must consolidate that the entrepreneurship of new technologies and innovation cannot exist without critical mineral raw materials. To achieve the European Green Deal’s goal of transitioning to near-zero-carbon economies by 2050, we need to turn to energy conservation, boosting RES with widespread electrification and green hydrogen. The change sought in the international and European strategy is a one-way street, but at the same time an opportunity not only for research initiatives, but also for the development of innovative business plans in the field of mineral raw materials, which are increasingly being initiated recently.[+] Show More
