Project description
Sustainable extraction and processing of primary raw materials
The extraction and processing of titanium and other primary raw materials have significant environmental impacts and are costly. The EU-funded REPTiS project aims to develop a sustainable and energy-efficient solution for extracting and processing titanium and other primary raw materials from strategic partner countries into EU supply chains with minimal waste. This initiative will involve collaboration with Ukraine throughout the value chain, from open-pit ilmenite ore mining and carbon-free titanium powder production to full-scale deployment within the EU. The project will demonstrate titanium extraction and processing as a Critical Raw Material, focusing on achieving zero-waste manufacturing through energy and resource efficiency, thereby contributing to the European Green Deal.
Objective
REPTiS offers a sustainable and energy efficient solution for responsible extraction and processing of Titanium and other Primary Raw Materials from strategic partner countries to EU supply chains with a net zero-waste approach. The project will demonstrate the capability of Titanium extraction and processing as a Critical Raw Material in collaboration with strategic partnership country Ukraine in all stages of the value chain ranging from open pit ilmenite ore mining and carbon-free Ti powder production to full-scale deployment in the EU, thanks to the commitments of the industrial partners after the end of the project. Demonstrating an approach towards zero waste manufacturing by means of energy and resource efficiency, and by a validation using real parts from the industry, the project will go beyond the state-of-the-art in terms of maturity (from TRL 5 to 7) and hence contribute to the European Green Deal.
