Critical and strategic raw materials
The role of ISPRA in light of the new European regulatory framework for the sustainable and circular use of raw materials useful for the ecological and digital transition
One month after the entry into force of the decree, ISPRA launches the national mining program. In total there are 76 mines still active in Italy, 22 relating to materials that are included in the list of 34 critical raw materials of the EU. In 20 of these, feldspar is extracted, an essential mineral for the ceramic industry, and in 2, fluorite (in the municipalities of Bracciano and Silius), which is widely used in the steel, aluminium, glass, electronics and refrigeration. In particular, the Genna Tres Montis fluorspar mine (South Sardegna), which will return to full production at the end of the renovation works, will represent one of the most important in Europe. Of the other 91 fluorspar mines active in the past, some very important ones - to be revalued with current prices quadrupled compared to 1990 - are located in the Bergamo, Brescia and Trentino areas, in addition to those in Sardegna and Lazio
