The European Commission has presented a list of 47 strategic projects aimed at increasing the production of 14 materials in the EU, which it considers critically important. These measures are part of the Law on Critical Raw Materials, adopted in 2023. The document provides for the achievement by 2030 of targets for extraction of 10%, processing of 40% and utilization of 25% of the Union's needs. The list includes metals such as aluminum, copper, nickel, as well as lithium and rare earth elements used in batteries, wind turbines, and electric vehicles. The projects are being implemented in 13 EU countries, including Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Sweden and Portugal. Of the total number, 25 projects are focused on mining, 24 cover recycling, 10 are focused on recycling, and some of them cover several of these processes at once. The EU is striving to reduce dependence on suppliers of strategic metals, which has become especially important after the reduction of gas supplies from Russia and logistical problems during the pandemic. The Commission plans to expand the list of projects, including initiatives outside the EU, and strengthen the joint procurement mechanism.
