Ministerial statement on proposed European Critical Raw Materials Act
Published 16 March 2023Statement from Minister for Energy, Business, and Industry Ebba Busch.
On 16 March, the European Commission presented its proposal for a new legal instrument to promote secure and sustainable access to critical raw materials in the EU.
Secure and sustainable access to raw materials is necessary to enable green transition. The transition requires new technologies and new energy solutions that lead to even greater demand for more metals and minerals than those we have previously used.
The increasing demand and the prevailing geopolitical situation has prompted the EU to act in several areas related to access to raw materials. Currently, the EU uses 25 per cent of the global production of metals, however, produces only 3–4 per cent of them. Recycling, reuse, and other circular methods are important, but will not be sufficient to meet the growing demand. There is great geological potential in the EU to mine the metals and minerals needed for the green transition.
The Critical Raw Materials Act is a priority for the Swedish Presidency of the Council of the EU. The Presidency’s ambition is to work towards a proportionate and balanced act that promotes secure access to sustainably produced raw materials. This legal instrument aims to increase access by strengthening our European value chains through measures in the following areas:
- Increased domestic mining and production.
- increased resource efficiency and recycling; and
- diversification of trade.

BRIEFING EU Legislation in Progress EPRS |
European Parliamentary Research Service Author: Guillaume Ragonnaud Members' Research Service PE 747.898 – December 2023 EN
Critical raw materials act
OVERVIEW The EU's ambition to become a climate-neutral economy by 2050, and its ability to sustain the green and digital transition and achieve strategic autonomy, all rely heavily on reliable, secure and resilient access to critical raw materials (CRMs). On 16 March 2023, the Commission put forward a proposal for a regulation on CRMs. It introduces the concept of strategic raw materials (SRMs), which are key for some strategic technologies and vulnerable to shortages.
The general objective of the proposed regulation is to improve the functioning of the single market by establishing a framework to ensure the EU's access to a secure and sustainable supply of CRMs. To achieve this, the regulation would pursue four specific objectives: strengthening the whole SRM value chain; diversifying the EU's imports of SRMs (so that by 2030, no third country would provide more than 65 % of the EU's annual consumption of each SRM); improving the EU's ability to monitor and mitigate the CRM supply risk; ensuring the free movement of CRMs and products containing CRMs placed on the EU market, and ensuring a high level of environmental protection, by improving their circularity and sustainability.
On 13 November 2023, the Parliament and the Council reached a provisional agreement on the proposal. Parliament is expected to vote on the agreed text, which requires formal adoption by both institutions, during its plenary session in December 2023.

As far as I know, Tesla started doing dry battery electrode manufacturing (i.e. Teslas technology, not solid state) using first Cathode because it was easier with cathode. But now they have arrived at anode as well. Do we know whether Talnode-C or Talnode-Si is actually compatible with that manufacturing tech? I might have to ask than on the next earnings report, unfortunately we just had one and its gonna take 3 months until the next.. Should have thought of that earlier.

Good find
“ACC aims to have a supply chain that is at least 70% European by the middle of the decade”
Question is which decade !?

PARIS, Feb 12 (Reuters) - European auto battery manufacturer ACC, co-owned by Stellantis, Mercedes and TotalEnergies, on Monday announced the completion of a major financing round for the development of three "gigafactories" in France, Germany and Italy.
The bank financing worth 4.4 billion euros ($4.74 billion) - a large chunk of its total needed investment estimated at just over 7 billion euros - was one of the largest debt fundraising operations ever carried out in the European automotive sector, ACC, also known as Automotive Cells Company, said.

"This deal with the banks reflects the very high level of confidence of these lenders in the ACC project," Yann Vincent, managing director of ACC, told Reuters.
French lender BNP Paribas acted as exclusive financial adviser to ACC. The financing deals were struck with a consortium of banks including BNP Paribas, Deutsche Bank, ING, Intesa Sanpaolo, the French public bank Bpifrance, insurer Euler Hermes and the Italian export insurer SACE.

The money will fund the construction of four new ACC production lines - a second one in France, a first one in Kaiserslautern in Germany, and two in Termoli in Italy.
They come on top of the company's first production unit producing lithium-ion batteries in Billy-Berclau in northern France, which was opened last year.
The financing, which adds to public subsidies already granted or committed, will be supplemented by new cash injections from the three shareholders of ACC of an unspecified amount, the company said.
