Big news for the EU raw materials sector! The European Commission has announced its first list of 47 Strategic Projects under the Critical Raw Materials Act (CRMA). These projects will help boost Europe’s capacity to extract, process, recycle, and substitute key materials like lithium, cobalt, graphite, and more - key for the green and digital transitions, as well as supporting industries like defence and aerospace. 🎉 We are excited to share that Talga Group and LKAB, both members of #ETPSMR, are on this list! Their projects are making a big contribution to strengthening Europe’s raw materials supply chain. 🌍 With €22.5 billion in planned investments and faster permitting processes, this is a big step forward in building a more secure and sustainable raw materials system in the EU. 👏 Congrats to Talga, LKAB, and all the other projects leading the way! ➡️ https://lnkd.in/ddtsBcx7 #CriticalRawMaterials #ETPSMR #EUInnovation #Sustainability
