CIRAN Project
Extraction of critical raw materials in protected environmental areas
Coordinated by INTRAW (International Raw Materials Observatory) in collaboration with the European Geological Services, CIRAN is working to find solutions between low impact environmental alternatives, sustainability strategies and social acceptability in order to be able to identify protocols and guidelines that make the cultivation of those rare and strategic materials indispensable for Europe to make the energy transition and to deal with the supply problems resulting from the current geopolitical situation.
In particular, the aim is to identify processes that balance economic stability and security of supply of critical raw materials (CRM) with social well-being and environmental conservation priorities across the EU.
ISPRA is partner of the project
