Imagine the rare minerals needed for electric car motors as a hidden treasure buried in old electronics and deep mines. This project builds a digital center to help companies find, extract, and reuse these materials more efficiently. It is like creating a high-tech library and toolkit that teaches factories how to take apart magnets and put them back into the production loop.
The EU lacks a secure, independent supply of rare earth elements and magnets, making high-tech manufacturing vulnerable to external supply shocks and waste inefficiency.
A digital innovation hub providing pilot technologies for REE extraction, Re-X recycling tools, and digital passports for material traceability.
If you are an EV motor producer dealing with unstable supply chains for permanent magnets — this project developed electric machine designs for easier recycling that ensure a more secure flow of materials. This reduces reliance on external imports through a resilient EU value chain.
If you are an e-waste recycler dealing with the difficulty of extracting valuable metals from old gadgets — this project developed Re-X technologies for recovering rare earths from side streams. This allows you to turn waste into high-value raw materials.
If you are a mineral processing plant dealing with inefficient exploration and refining — this project developed test and pilot technologies for primary production of rare earths. This improves the speed and sustainability of getting materials from the ground to the factory.
Based on available project data, specific pricing is not listed, but the project will offer technologies and services via a digital platform for commercial use.
The project focuses on developing test and pilot technologies for exploration, production, and recovery of rare earths.
Based on available project data, the project aims to commercialize developed technologies and offer them as services through a digital innovation hub.
It uses digital twins, traceability tools, and digital passports to integrate rare earth elements into a resilient EU value chain.
The project runs from 2024-10-01 to 2028-09-30, aiming to accelerate market entry through its digital innovation hub.
The consortium is heavily industry-driven, with 14 out of 24 partners coming from the private sector (58% industry ratio), including 10 SMEs. This strong commercial presence, spanning 6 countries, suggests a high focus on market viability and the practical application of rare earth recovery technologies across the entire value chain.
