What are « Critical Raw materials » ?

  • Material criticality assessment performed by EU in 2010 and 2014
  • CRMs are potential risks for EU economy… risk mitigation research is relevant

Reduce Substitute Reuse/Recycle

EU CRM Innovation Network (CRM_Innonet)

Source : Report on critical raw materials for the EU – Report of the Ad hoc Working Group on defining critical raw materials (May 2014)

54 materials analyzed

Economic Importance Supply Risk

20 critical materials identified

CRM_Innonet project (2012-2015)

– Coordination & Support action focussing on material substitution -

  • Develop material risk diagnostics, substitution roadmaps, policy

recommendations and a network around substitution…

  • EU funded (FP7)
  • Wide consortium (18 partners)
  • Progress :

– Materials & sectors analysis performed – Substitution roadmap under definition – Continuous development of the CRM Innovation Network (workshops)

Today’s focus : Illustration of the SET-Plan Energy sector analysis

CRM_Innonet : detailled analysis outcome

Objective : improved risk assessment (EU industry value & positionning, jobs…)

  • Technology Analysis
  • Trade Analysis (PRODCOM)
  • Market Analysis along the supply-chain

Wind (Nd, Dy) : Significant risk

(EU estimate : 1.4-2.2b€ - 12000 FTE)

Batteries (Co, Graphite, F, REE) : Relative risk

(EU estimate : 320M€ - 4000 FTE)

PV (In, Ga (CIGS)) : Limited Risk

(EU estimate : 80M€ - 2000-4000 FT - recent decrease)

Conclusions & Learnings

  • Concerns about Material dependance is increasing in industry
  • « Criticality » is a relative concept, to be assessed at company level.

Cost-related criticality may be too simplistic…

  • Material risk assessment is dynamic – information on criticality factors is key
  • Risk mitigation strategies are diverse : Material substitution is often not the short-term option

but can be seen as longer-term/strategic in nature

  • Material supply risk considered at all stages of the product life (R&D EoL)
  • Substitution can be seen as strategic provisionning
  • Material innovation can be a game-changer: having substitution alternatives is key

Advanced materials have a role to play

  • Substitution roadmapping underway as part of CRM_Innonet :

Permanent magnets Batteries & Accumulators PCBs and Electronics Photonics Alloys

CRM_Innonet – the Network

  • CRM_Innonet is a currently-running project, with active networking

events on material substitution

3rd Innovation Network Workshop on Substitution (11 Feb. 2015 - Brussels)
