Research and Innovation Needs and

potential Impacts: H2020 WP2018-2020

Dr. Lisa O’Donoghue

4 Perspectives

Different perspectives from different activities and experiences Research Academic: Materials Science and Engineering Running research projects in the field of Raw materials and

specifically on metals recovery and hydrometallurgy funded by EPA: Automated LCD recycling LCD-VAL: Indium recovery from LCDs Al-Source: CRM recovery from bauxite residue Raw Materials Ireland: CRM recovery synergies from multiple by-product

sources

Focus on early to mid TRL

Raw Materials Ireland

Spin Out Company Perspective Founder of Spin Out company:

Votechnik 5 patents: granted and pending Licence Agreements Investment Manufacturing European Eco-Innovation support:

BRAVO for – Circular Economy – €10M H2020 Bid

EIT Raw Materials Member of the EIT Raw Materials Sat on Management Team as Innovation

Strategist for the Northern CoLocation Market impacts, Job creation, sustainable

supply of raw material sand CRM for Europe Set Target Funds higher TRL and close to market KIC is designed to short circuit good

innovations to market

H2020 WP2018-2020 2.2 circular economy:

“products” are a key focus while a focus on “products and processes” would widen the scope

Integration of digital solutions could also be augmented with other technologies of the future such automation and robotics

Potential for a focus on the reuse business model/ more focus on business models to support circular economy. How to companies make revenue if products last longer…

Business models for closed loop CRM recycling with in EU – infrastructure requirements, business case required, centralised activities for EU

Legislation and specific barriers to circular economy – welcome more innovation deals activities

2.45 raw materials Augment the use of ICT enabled solutions with the potential for automation and robotics

integrations to – this would have the potential to reduce the cost of recovery operations and aid the business case for recovery

Continue to focus on the potential of secondary raw materials as well as primary Support funding for EIP activities – CSA , networking etc… Cross fertilisation: International strategy: the KIC Raw materials has an internationalisation

strategy as well. Synergies rather then replication!

In General EIT Raw Materials

Funding aspects i.e. sc5 funds mid to high TRL while KIC funds high TRL Experience: industries have technologies developed that are not being

publicised. Academic journals and patents are always a true reflection of state of art.

Impact of the EIPs: Benefits from networks, cross fertilizations and academic and industrial

engagement Potential for competitors with in a sector to engage each other Huge source of higher TRL technologies
