Summary
The CRM Act, together with other EU policies towards the green and digital objetives of the CE, and the EU current context pose some challenges and needs to the extractive and processing industries: improve and facilitate access to raw materials and reduce EU dependency; increase circularity, ensure recycling into secondary raw materials and recovery from extractive waste; ann also, the mining and processing industry must be sustainable, thus competitive, socially responsible and efficient in terms of cost, reducing energy consumption and gas emissions.
BLOOM aims to develop and demonstrate extraction and processing technologies to facilitate exploitation of the primary raw critical raw materials. For this, th ecollaboration with both Ukraine and Canada is envisioned 2 and 3 partners from these countries respectively); clustering activities are envisioned through key partners and a a business case and exploitation strategy.
BLOOM will tackle the challenges through its Strategic Objective which is to facilitate exploitation of the primary CRM (minerals and metals only) for the EU to strengthen the EU supply chains, by increasing the efficiency on extraction and processing with a smart and modular solids analysis system consisting on an online mineral liberation analysis, which enables the integration on mining sites of advanced control loops in different stages of the processing, based on ML and AI techniques, or data-driven extraction operations based on accurate mineralogy information from the site. These actions are oriented to lowering the costs of extraction and processing, increasing the financial viability, thus also contributing to making profitable low-grade deposits, giving access to new supplies.
BLOOM consortium is composed of a multidisciplinary group of 15 partners, from 4 European countries, 2 from Ukraine, 3 from Canada and 1 from Brazil, one of the resource-richer countries in the world and lead by UPC.
