Descripción del proyecto
Aprovechar la observación de la Tierra para lograr un futuro más verde
A medida que aumenta la demanda mundial de materias primas fundamentales, las prácticas mineras convencionales plantean importantes retos medioambientales y socioeconómicos. Entre ellos, la degradación ecológica, el agotamiento de los recursos y los conflictos sociales en las regiones mineras. Además, los métodos existentes carecen de eficacia y transparencia, lo cual obstaculiza la gestión sostenible de los recursos minerales. Para afrontar estos acuciantes problemas, el equipo del proyecto TERRAVISION, financiado con fondos europeos, se perfila como una iniciativa pionera dispuesta a revolucionar la industria minera mediante tecnologías innovadoras de observación de la Tierra y prácticas sostenibles. La eficacia de TERRAVISION se demostrará en Grecia, España y otros países, con campañas de validación en seis explotaciones mineras. Con actividades específicas de difusión y reproducción, TERRAVISION aspira a lograr un impacto significativo en toda la Unión Europea, allanando el camino para lograr unas prácticas mineras sostenibles.
Objetivo
TERRAVISION will establish and deploy an integrated platform to enhance the entire critical raw materials value chain towards implementing sustainable mining practices. TERRAVISION Earth Observation (EO) Mining Services Platform will be supported by 4 innovation pillars; (i) the Data Ecosystem for Large scale EO mining services will link and exploit various data from key sources (e.g. Copernicus satellite/ground radar/drone/in-situ sensing data) for monitoring the entire raw materials life cycle; (ii) the Analysis Ready Data and Raw material spectral library, will provide a novel framework for processing raw multisensory EO data to become Analysis Ready Data and to be combined semantically with in-situ data to enable the development of an open and standardised raw material spectral library to support the full mining life cycle of critical raw materials and the mapping of primary and secondary critical raw materials,(iii) the EO services for the mining industry will develop and deploy services critical to supply chain (e.g. mapping of critical raw materials, mineral exploration, extraction rates in opencast mines and stockpile volumes) but also enable a dynamic hazard mapping service for proactive management of risks to promote operational efficiency of mining sites. (iv) The Green & Resilience Accountability component will promote critical raw materials supply chain resilience and sustainability based on the quantification of environmental and socio-economic impact of mining activities for different mining phases (e.g. permission, operation, post-closure). The effectiveness of the TERRAVISION EO Mining Services Platform will be demonstrated at both EU (Greece, Spain) and beyond coupled by validation campaigns at 6 mining sites that will pave the way for rapid uptake of the proposed systemic innovations. Targeted dissemination, exploitation and replication activities will enhance a clear pathway for TERRAVISION towards significant EU-wide impact.
