EU selects 46 strategic raw materials projects across 16 member states
Original: EU Picks 46 Strategic Raw Materials Projects in 16 Member States - News and Statistics
The European Union has approved 46 projects under its Critical Raw Materials Act, spread across 16 member states, to boost domestic extraction, processing and recycling of minerals deemed strategic for the green and digital transitions. The selections aim to reduce EU dependence on foreign suppliers, particularly China, for materials like lithium, cobalt and rare earths. Analysts are watching how quickly the projects can be financed and permitted, as Europe's industries face supply bottlenecks.
Why now: The EU's push to secure critical minerals supply chains is a high-stakes industrial policy amid geopolitical tensions with China.
