en.Wedoany.com Reported - The Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) plans to contribute to Germany's secure supply of raw materials through several research projects. According to the Helmholtz Institute Freiberg for Resource Technology, which is affiliated with the center, the federal government will provide nearly 20 million euros in funding over the next three to five years for the research teams involved in these projects.

One project is dedicated to developing digital technologies for the rapid and precise acquisition of geological information and data from old mining operations, and applying them to mineral deposit exploration. Another project focuses on extracting gold and strategic metals from polymetallic ores. The institute noted that ensuring a sustainable supply of raw materials poses an increasing challenge for Germany, particularly for metallic technological raw materials, whose demand can only be met through primary raw materials obtained from mining. HZDR stated that whether it is electric vehicles, solar devices, or smartphones, many technologies shaping daily life depend on certain raw materials. However, many of these materials are scarce, problematic to extract, and have unstable supplies. To reduce supply risks and enhance autonomy, the European Union has enacted the Critical Raw Materials Act.
