Integrating CRM Value Chains and promoting local value-added

Project description

Reliable CRM value chains networks

Critical raw materials are used in a wide range of sectors and industries. Their value chains play a crucial role in sustainability efforts. With this in mind, the EIT-funded CRM-VC Facility project will assist in developing and integrating key critical raw materials value chains between the EU and other specific partner countries. The goal is to secure reliable suppliers and increase value-added opportunities in partner countries. To achieve this, the facility will encourage stakeholder cooperation, pooling of resources, and addressing key topics such as the environment, education, skills, energy, and transport infrastructure. The project aligns with the CRM Act.

Objective

In line with the CRM Act, the CRM-Value Chain Facility will help to develop and integrate critical raw materials value chains between the EU and selected partner countries, with the two-fold aim to secure reliable supplie of CRM for Europe, and to increase value-added opportunities in the partner countries. The Facility will promote the cooperation between stakeholders along the value-chains, and pool available resources through a Team-Europe approach. Furthermore, the enabling environment, first and foremost education & skills, as well as transport and energy infrastructure will equally be adressed.
The Facility will work along 3 main components: i) Intelligence, networks, training and knowledge, ii) B2B matchmaking activities connecting actors and operations along the CRM value chains, and iii) building a pipeline of strategic projects that are of interest to European actors.
The facility will be implemented by EIT Raw Materials and EIT InnoEnergy, permitting access to two top-level EU industry and partnership networks.
