European Innovation Partnership on Raw Materials

PresenterPresentation NotesIn October 2013 the EIP launched a call for commitments. Following this, the EIP's Sherpa Group, on behalf of the High Level Steering Group, confirmed that 80 commitments fulfilled the required criteria. These commitments are now recognised as “Raw Material Commitments” and are published on this webpage.

A commitment is a joint undertaking by several partners, who commit to activities aimed at achieving the EIP's objectives between 2014 and 2020. Commitments must aim to deliver innovative products, processes, services, technologies, business models or ideas that can be brought to the market or that would bring wider societal benefits.The EIP's commitments are essential to achieve the objectives set out in the EIP's Strategic Implementation Plan

Results of the first call: Higher number of technology commitments Higher number for primary production technology Scope of raw materials covered representation (metals, industrial, forest-based materials)

Finland: 51 partners out of 800 partners4 leading partners out of 80 leading partners.

In order to obtain recognition, a commitment should meet the conditions set out in these guidelines and be liable to make a significant contribution to meeting the objectives of the EIP.The new calls are scheduled for 2015, 2017 and 2019.

Defensives:

Why to make a commitment?

to raise awareness;to receive a quality assurance at European level;to get a guarantee of accordance with the EIP and the EU raw materials policy;to potentially allow access to finance from various sources;to join forces with other partners;to give access to contacts outside the EU

SPIRE 7-2015 (sustainable process industries): Recovery technologies for metals and other minerals Specific challenge: Metals and other minerals, such as non-ferrous and ferrous metals, ceramics, glass, cement and chemicals are utilised in numerous applications in many industrial sectors. Their demand, in particular those used in specialised applications, will increase in the coming years. Because of their increasing importance or economic value, a key issue is the development of processes for an effective and efficient recovery of these materials, from primary sources or from waste streams of the current industrial processes. Novel integrated recovery processes should result in increased resource efficiency and sustainability for the European industry, allowing the recovery of significant amount of metals and other minerals, even from low concentration streams. This should lower the dependency on imports of these materials, sheltering Europe from possible shortages in supply and reducing production costs and environmental impacts. Major improvements in separation processes are needed to achieve an efficient and cost effective recovery from the different streams in the process industries. Scope: new approaches combining several existing techniques (e.g. precipitation, adsorption, extraction, physical or biological treatment and separation) or new alternative solutions could provide a cost-effective way to achieve major improvements in the efficiency of recovery operations for metals and other minerals, leading to waste reduction and minimising the environmental impact of industrial operations. The proposed solutions should also have potential for integration in the current industrial scenario, and should be suitable for different sectors in the process industry. It is essential to consider the compatibility of the technologies with currently existing plants, taking into consideration the capital -intensive nature of some industrial sectors involved. Demonstration activities should focus in the following research areas: - Innovative technologies for minerals and metals treatment from solid, gaseous and/or liquid waste streams. - Development of new approaches for the design and scale up of industrial processes. In particular, these innovative approaches should regard the primary process and the downstream separation as one single, integrated process aimed at designs that maximise not only productivity, but also resource efficiency. - The proposed solutions should be easily integrated with the currently existing plants/technologies, taking into account the capital intensive nature of some relevant industrial sectors, providing tools for the design of such units and their integration with primary processes.

The projects selected under this topic are expected to carry out demonstration activities in industrial environments aimed at proving the industrial relevance and feasibility of the proposed technologies. Activities expected to focus on Technology Readiness Levels 5-7. A significant participation of SMEs with R&D capacities is encouraged. For this topic, proposals should include an outline of the initial exploitation and business plans. Wherever possible, proposers could actively seek synergies, including possibilities for cumulative funding, with relevant national / regional research and innovation programmes and/or European Structural and Investment Funds in connection with smart specialisation

strategies. Exploitation plans, outline financial arrangements and any follow-up should be developed during the project. The Commission considers that proposals requesting a contribution from the EU between EUR 6 and 10 million would allow this specific challenge to be addressed appropriately. Nonetheless, this does not preclude submission and selection of proposals requesting other amounts. Expected impact: Proof of economic and industrial feasibility for the proposed technologies in the process industries and showing the real potential for reducing dependency from imports. In addition, the technologies are expected contribute to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. Life Cycle and Cost Assessments for the technologies developed. Significant impact on the resource efficiency of industrial sectors leading to a 40% increase in recovery of materials suitable for reprocessing compared to conventional processes. Enhanced sustainable industrial processes, shorter time to market and higher production capacity. Cross-sectorial knowledge and technology transfer.

Type of action: Innovation Actions.

NMP 23 – 2015: Novel materials by design for substituting critical materialsSpecific challenge: Many technologies with significant socio-economic benefits face material requirements that are, or may be, problematic due to their instable, insecure or price-volatile supply. Research is needed in particular to improve our fundamental understanding of the development of new material solutions with a reduced or completely eliminated critical content, while maintaining or enhancing the performance of the materials, components and products. Examples may be the critical raw materials (see COM(2011)25 and related documents) or those materials which may be hazardous or pose a risk to human health and/or the environment. Scope: Proposals are called for to investigate the development of such materials by rational design, with focus on the combination of theory with large-scale computational screening. Validation by experimental methods should be included. In line with the objectives of the Union's strategy for international cooperation in research and innovation (COM(2012)497), international cooperation according to the current rules of participation is encouraged, in particular with Japan and the United States of America. The quality of the international cooperation will be rewarded in the evaluation of the proposal. Activities expected to focus on Technology Readiness Level 3-4.

The Commission considers that proposals requesting a contribution from the EU between EUR 3 and 5 million would allow this specific challenge to be addressed appropriately. Nonetheless, this does not preclude submission and selection of proposals requesting other amounts. Expected impact: Reduced use or substitution of critical materials for well-defined technologies; Improved performance of industrial products in the longer term; Safer and/or more sustainable materials, components and products; Contribute to achieving the EU policy COM(2011)25: Tackling the challenges in commodity markets and on raw materials; and other relevant EU policies. Type of action: Research & Innovation Actions
