XTRACT Project's Impact

The XTRACT project has implications in several areas as listed below :

Economic Impact: Increase the domestic EU sourcing of raw materials

Scientific Impact: New breakthrough tools and technologies for the eco-friendly resource recovery

Environmental Impact: Minimisation of CO2 emissions; Minimisation of waste and pollutants; Minimisation of energy consumption

Expected Impacts

  • IMP1 : Develop innovative technologies for extraction of raw materials in the European Union.
  • IMP2: 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.
  • IMP3: Show the potential to reduce substantially the Green House Gases (GHGs) emissions intensity of extraction per ton of the material sold on to the downstream value chain, thus contributing to EU climate neutrality objectives.
  • IMP4: Promote the utilisation of UNFC (United Nations Framework Classification for Resources) and UNRMS (United Nations Resource Management System) in the raw materials sector.
  • IMP5: Accelerate development of EU domestic raw materials exploration projects integrating innovative technologies.
