CRMs Data Space Project is focused on…
The CRMsDataSpace project aims to create a Common European Data Space on Critical Raw Materials (CRMs) for the Green Deal, focusing on recovering valuable raw materials from closed extractive coal waste facilities. This initiative aligns with the European Critical Raw Materials Act (CRMA) and seeks to enhance Europe's autonomy in securing critical raw materials, which are essential for strategic industries such as renewable energy, digital technologies, defense, and healthcare.
Project aim
The CRMsDataSpace project aims to develop a Common European Data Space on Critical Raw Materials (CRMs) for the Green Deal, with a primary focus on recovering critical raw materials from closed extractive coal waste facilities.
Main goals:
1.- Creating a Centralized Digital Data Space
2.- Enhancing CRM Recovery through AI & Data Technologies
3.- Reducing Europe’s Dependency on CRM Imports
4.- Supporting the European Green Deal & Critical Raw Materials Act (CRMA).
Our approach
The CRMsDataSpace project will develop a European digital data platform to identify and assess the potential for recovering critical raw materials (CRMs) from closed extractive coal waste facilities. Key activities include creating a geospatial database, implementing AI-driven tools to automate CRM classification and reporting, and conducting geochemical and metallurgical analyses to evaluate resource viability. The project will also establish new business models to attract investment in CRM recovery and organize training workshops and knowledge transfer events across the EU. Finally, it will ensure effective project coordination, risk management, and policy alignment with the European Green Deal and Critical Raw Materials Act (CRMA) to strengthen Europe’s supply chain resilience and sustainability.
