On 23 May, the EU’s Critical Raw Materials Act (CRMA) enters into force.

The relatively short period between the initial proposal and its enactment indicates the EU’s determination to ‘de-risk’ supply chains for a range of resources it deems are at risk in an increasingly turbulent global environment.

The CRMA places non-binding targets for the EU’s internal capacity for extraction, processing, refining and recycling of ‘Strategic Raw Materials’, such as nickel, tungsten, and cobalt, designated as key for the green and digital transition. To achieve this, the CRMA qualifies certain projects as of strategic value, even those outside the EU, that will benefit from more access to financing, expedited permitting processes and matchmaking with buyers...
