Technologies for processing and refining of critical raw materials (IA)
Call text (as on F&T portal)
View on F&T portalExpected Outcome:
Projects outcomes will enable achieving the expected impacts of the destination by increasing access to primary raw materials and secondary raw materials, in particular critical raw materials[1] for EU industrial value chains and strategic sectors.
Projects are expected to contribute to the following outcomes:
-Increase recovery rates of valuable raw materials, particularly critical raw materials from low grade or complex ores and/or from extractive waste;
-Significantly increase economic performance in terms of higher material-, water-, energy- and cost-efficiency and flexibility in minerals processing and metallurgical processes;
-Significantly improve the health, safety and environmental performance of the operations throughout the whole life cycle which is considered, including a reduction in waste, wastewater and emissions generation and a better recovery of resources from generated waste;
-Improve responsible supply of raw materials to Europe in line with the EU principles for sustainable raw materials, which are a non-regulatory set of principles based on the EU acquis. They set out requirements for sustainable raw materials and extraction and processing in Europe in terms of social, environmental and economic performance.[2]Actions are expected to contribute to the implementation the EU action plan on Critical Raw Materials.[3]
Scope:
Actions should demonstrate new or improved systems integrating relevant processing and refining technologies for better recovery of raw materials from low grade and/or complex ores from extractive wastes, less waste, higher energy efficiency. The action could also reduce the content of toxic elements or compounds in the resulting material products. The actions should target minerals and metals, particularly critical raw materials.
The solution proposed should be flexible enough to adapt to different or variable primary and secondary raw materials grades and should be supported by efficient and robust process control. Where relevant, any solution proposed for the reduction of the content of toxic elements or compounds in the resulting materials should also include the appropriate management of the hazardous substances removed.
Actions should develop intelligent and innovative production systems which better utilise natural resources by minimising losses during waste-rock separation in an optimised and energy-efficient process and by minimising use of water
Recycling of end-of-life products is excluded from this topic, though joint processing of waste streams originating from end-of-life products recycling could be included and has to be duly justified.
Actions should envisage clustering activities with other relevant selected projects for cross-projects co-operation, consultations and joint activities on cross-cutting issues and share of results as well as participating in joint meetings and communication events. To this end proposals should foresee a dedicated work package and/or task, and earmark the appropriate resources accordingly.
Actions should facilitate the market uptake of solutions developed through industrially- and user-driven multidisciplinary consortia covering the relevant value chain and should consider standardisation aspects when relevant. The action should also include the analysis of financial opportunities ensuring the market exploitation and replication of the circular business model behind the developed solutions as new processes, products and/or services.
Proposals submitted under this topic should include a business case and exploitation strategy, as outlined in the introduction to this Destination. For TRLs 6-7, a credible strategy to achieve future full-scale deployment in the EU is expected, indicating the commitments of the industrial partners after the end of the project.
In this topic the integration of the gender dimension (sex and/or gender analysis) in research and innovation content is not a mandatory requirement, however, should you consider it to be of relevance for your specific proposal, you are strongly encouraged to do it.
null
Activities are expected to achieve TRL 6-7 by the end of the project – see General Annex B.

* Proposals with the same score were ranked according to the priority order procedure set out in the call conditions (for HE, in the General Annexes to the Work Programme or specific arrangements in the specific call/topic conditions).
Summary of observer report:
According the observed consensus meetings and panel ranking meeting, the evaluation procedures were carried with transparency, efficiency, fairness, consistency, impartiality with homogenous criteria, even among the different topics coordinated by different topic coordinators, in compliance with the applicable evaluation rules for each stage of the selection exercise (individual evaluation reports, consensus reports, panel ranking): the evaluation process was carried out in full accordance with the Horizon Europe documents on proposal evaluation.
The IT utilised systems (SEP and CIRCABC) worked very well and they are clear and useful for the evaluation procedures with many supporting documents to help the expert’s work. Webex tool was mainly used for the meetings, and it worked very well permitting a good interaction level for the experts during their discussion about each evaluated proposal.
In this way all the procedures to select the best proposal were very adequate to define the final ranking in order to select the best projects to be financed according to the call’s indications.
