The document discusses the European Innovation Partnership on Raw Materials (EIP Raw Mat). It aims to reduce import dependency, push Europe to the forefront in raw materials sectors, provide alternatives in supply, and mitigate negative environmental impacts. Key components include technology and non-technology policy areas related to exploration, extraction, processing, recycling, and substitution of raw materials. Broad stakeholders from EU member states and other groups will be involved. Progress since the initiative's start in 2012 is outlined, including the formation of working groups and development of a Strategic Implementation Plan. Finland's mining potential and innovations in areas like cleantech and deep exploration are also briefly highlighted.

Raw Materials

5. 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

6. ENTR G3
Objectives
• Reduce import dependency
• Push Europe to the forefront in raw materials sectors
• Provide alternatives in supply
• Mitigate negative environmental impacts

7. 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

8. 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

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.

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

14. 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)
