A new report from Systemiq Ltd., supported by Breakthrough Energy and the Energy Transitions Commission with data and expert input from Minviro and Benchmark Mineral Intelligence, reveals how innovation can sustainably transform the production of critical raw materials (CRMs) like lithium, graphite, and copper—essential for climate goals and strategic autonomy. The Challenge Europe’s share of global CRM production has dropped from 25% to less than 7% in 40 years. The EU’s Critical Raw Materials Act (CRMA) sets bold 2030 targets for mining, refining, and recycling, but hitting them requires a game-changing approach. The Opportunity The report highlights 7 breakthrough technologies to sustainably onshore CRM supply, with Primary Sulfide Leaching, Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) and Novel low-carbon graphite routes standing out. By adopting these, Europe could slash the carbon footprint of EV batteries while securing critical resources (see attached image).
