Resilient Enhancement for the Silicon Industry Leveraging the European matriX

Project description

Improving the resilience and sustainability of the silicon value chain

The EU-funded RESΙLEX project aims to improve the resilience and sustainability of silicon and other critical raw material (CRM) value chains for solar panel production in Europe. The consortium will demonstrate innovative industry-driven technological and business solutions such as helping on the reduction of EU dependence on silicon and CRM imports from third countries, developing a new carbon-free and more efficient process to produce silicon, and recycling end-of-use solar PV panels for Li-ion battery manufacturing. The team will assess the economic, social and environmental impacts of these solutions and will also identify, roadmap and provide open-source policy-making recommendations. RESΙLEX will accelerate the replication of processes with the highest potential while also addressing transversal challenges from the European mining industry.

Objective

The general objective of Project RESiLEX is to demonstrate 7 industry-driven technological and business innovative solutions covering the full Silicon value chain in order to contribute to improving the resilience and sustainability of this critical raw material value chain in Europe. RESiLEX (Resilient Enhancement for the Silicon Industry Leveraging the European matriX) will assess the economical, social and environmental impact of these solutions and identify, roadmap, provide open source policy-making recommendations to accelerate the replication of the ones with the highest potential, while also addressing transversal challenges from the European mining industry as a whole with a 8th pilot transversal demonstration.

Fields of science (EuroSciVoc)

CORDIS classifies projects with EuroSciVoc, a multilingual taxonomy of fields of science, through a semi-automatic process based on NLP techniques. See: The European Science Vocabulary.
This project's classification has been validated by the project's team.

Keywords

Project’s keywords as indicated by the project coordinator. Not to be confused with the EuroSciVoc taxonomy (Fields of science)

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Funding Scheme

Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
