MinBaS Innovation – SIA program Vinnova meeting 2013-05-29 MinBaS • Minerals (Industrial minerals ) • Ballast (Aggregates) • Stone (Natural stone)

MinBaS products are used everywhere !

MinBaS products are used everywhere !

MinBaS Experience & Network • 10 years of industrial development between industry and academy • 2 MinBaS RTD programs (more than 100 MSEK turnover, 70+ projects) completed successfully • Existing organization and experience enable quick start

MinBaS collaboration-programmes development towards Innovation system 3. Society and industry 2. Usage, Products 1. Production- • Legal framework • Prototyping processes • Employment • Application technology • Raw materials, • Internationalisation • Market • CO 2 and energy • Preinvestigation • Standards • LCA, SDI • Production • Reuse and recycling, • Environmental load • Logistics • Restauration Project type – ”TRL” Support for 1. Technology development establishment of 2. Demonstration new enterprises, 3. Implementation (of products and information) applications and products

Our proposal • Products - Tailor-made products (functionality) - cooperation with down-stream users - longlife, strong, possible for reuse and recycling - heavy products – large volumes • Processes - Energy efficiency, low emissions, CCS, biofuels MinBaS - Recycling – zero waste Innovation - Optimal process – ex. Real Time Optimisation - Transport solutions – logistics • Society - Societal Acceptance - Regulations, guidelines and permits - SDI – Indicators etc. - Competence – need of personel and education

R&D Sweden – Aggregate & Mineral sectors • A few large Technology & Equipment Providers (Atlas Copco, Sandvik, Metso, Orica, Kimit, ABB) – Consolidation of company groups – Research in Sweden for some products • A number of medium sized suppliers (SME) (Jonsson, Norab, Maskinmekano, Mogensen, Tesab) – Often considered to provide very high quality – Development without high level research • Small suppliers (SME) – Locally operating – Some on high level, major part without any R&D

R&D – Risk Analysis in general • Consolidation of company groups – Manufacturing moves to best available localization – Sweden is a minor market (not an obvious choice) • R&D often located close to manufacturing facility – Risk for moving to low cost countries – Decision dependent on knowledge and customers • University research is seldom sponsored by equipment manufacturers – Research closely related to end users is in this case a stronger solution

MinBaS MinBaS Innovation - Objectives Mineral•Ballast•Sten

Aggregates Objectives and challenges Secure access to raw materials and optimal location – Optimised  licensing process Provision of skills and collaboration between industry and academia –  relevant training at all levels from operator to researcher International collaboration through ETP SMR, ERA-MIN, Horizon 2000,  UEPG etc. Efficient, competitive and sustainable production processes with safe  workplaces – optimal use of resources (” decoupling ”) Energy & environmental policy objectives – reduced energy  consumption & CO2 emmission in crushing, screening, loading and haulage Other national environmental objectives – reduction of natural sand &  gravel consumption – replaced by crushed rock aggregates (by VSI- crushing and dry classification)

Minerals – Lime & Cement Objectives and challenges Secure access to raw materials – focus at carbonate raw materials - optimised  licensing process Provision of skills and collaboration between industry and academia – relevant  training at all levels International collaboration through ETP SMR, ERA-MIN, Horizon 2020, Eula,  Cembureau etc. Efficient, competitive and sustainable production processes and with safe  workplaces – optimal use of resources (” decoupling ”) Energy & environmental policy objectives – reduced energy consumption &  CO2 emmission in crushing, grinding and high temperature lime burning process – improved process modelling and increased use of biofuels Other national environmental objectives – reduction of natural sand & gravel  consumption – replaced by crushed rock aggregates and improved concret mix design modelling Use of slag as a component in cement – reduction of CO2 of cement  Improved properties of lime for use as lime slag additives for Steel industry 

Natural Stone Objectives and challenges • Meeting the strong competition of non European stones: LCA, Quality, Durability and Cultural heritage • Combining the use of stones as a carrier of historic significance and at the same time being a modern construction material: • Increasing the production efficiency • Developing a platform for innovation • Safeguarding future competence • Disseminating the knowledge of proper stone use in society

Project 2013: Aggregate supply planning Sustainable Aggregate Supply (SAS • Pilot Plant) Transparrent bedrock classification • criteria Improved prediction methods for • optimised use of excavated material from infrastructural projects Improvning the legal framework for • high grade use of recycled matrials, e.g. construction & demolition waste Connecting geology with the • potential of the material Exporting our know-how • Project example: By-pass • Stockholm Tunnel Project – 21 km, 5Milj. tonnes of tunnel excavation rock
