Description du projet
Exploiter l’observation de la Terre pour un avenir plus vert
Alors que la demande mondiale de matières premières essentielles augmente, les pratiques minières conventionnelles posent d’importants problèmes environnementaux et socio-économiques. Il s’agit notamment de la dégradation écologique, de l’épuisement des ressources et des conflits sociaux dans les régions minières. En outre, les méthodes existantes manquent d’efficacité et de transparence, ce qui entrave la gestion durable des ressources minérales. Pour répondre à ces préoccupations urgentes, le projet TERRAVISION, financé par l’UE, apparaît comme une initiative pionnière prête à révolutionner l’industrie minière grâce à des technologies d’observation de la Terre innovantes et à des pratiques durables. L’efficacité de TERRAVISION sera démontrée en Grèce, en Espagne et au-delà, avec des campagnes de validation sur six sites miniers. Grâce à des activités de diffusion et de reproduction ciblées, TERRAVISION vise à avoir un impact significatif à l’échelle de l’UE, en ouvrant la voie à des pratiques minières durables.
Objectif
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.
