Our Stakeholder Board comprises experts in geothermal energy and critical raw materials and we currently have an open call to further enlarge the group as we start to implement the first engagement activities.

On 12 March 2024, the RAWMINA and CRM-geothermal projects jointly organised a webinar on “Frontier technologies for sustainable extraction of critical raw materials”.

End of September 2023, the four scientists Franziska Wilke, Bettina Strauch, Martin Zimmer, and Simona Regenspurg from the German GeoForschungsZentrum (GFZ), embarked on a sampling field trip in Malawi to collect gas, water, and rock samples within the project’s Work Package 2, which investigates critical raw materials (CRM) in the alkaline geothermal systems of the East African Rift valley.

We asked the CRM-geothermal researchers to talk about their work on the project. Learn more via our YouTube playlist!

The European Federation of Geologists, an official observer organisation at the UNFCCC Conference of the Parties (COP), proudly presented two groundbreaking EU-funded projects at COP28 in Dubai – CRM-geothermal and CEEGS.

On Thursday, 16 November, during the 2023 edition of the Raw Materials Week, the twelve EU funded projects that constitute the Cluster Hub ‘Materials for batteries’ gathered for their annual event in Brussels.

Colleagues from the Izmir Institute of Technology participated in the 5th International
Environmental Chemistry Congress (EnviroChem) held in Antalya, Turkiye, from 30 October till 2 November 2023.

Two of the most important challenges society is facing are climate change and the supply of mineral raw materials. Geothermal energy can play a significant role in the fight against climate change. It is a renewable and sustainable heat and electricity source that is...

The Cluster Hub “Production of raw materials for batteries from European resources”, of which CRM-geothermal is a partner, is a knowledge exchange ecosystem, where partners involved in different European projects (private companies, support organisations, experts, universities and research institutes) can identify and discuss common topics related to their projects, and to the production of materials for batteries, as well as synergies that can foster innovations in this field.
