Europe’s ambition to achieve strategic autonomy in raw materials does not rest on geology alone. It hinges on the continent’s ability to design, scale and industrialise the complex processing technologies that transform mined and recycled feedstock into high-purity, high-value metals. ReSourceEU sets clear quantitative targets for extraction, processing and recycling, but targets themselves do not...
Europe’s transformation into a battery-centered industrial economy has been faster and more disruptive than any other modern materials shift. The continent’s commitment to electric mobility, grid-scale storage, renewable-energy balancing, and electrified industry has created unprecedented demand for high-purity battery materials — lithium hydroxide and carbonate, nickel and manganese sulphates, cobalt intermediates, synthetic and natural graphite,...
Serbia stands at an industrial crossroads. The country has spent the past decade quietly building a reputation for engineering capability, design precision, and cross-disciplinary technical talent, yet has lacked the large-scale industrial framework required to transform this skill base into structured national advantage. As Europe accelerates its reindustrialisation around metals, materials, electrification and energy transition,...
Europe stands at a critical juncture where policy ambition exceeds industrial capability. Through ReSourceEU, the EU has set measurable objectives: 10% of strategic raw materials must be extracted within the EU, 40% processed inside the bloc, and 25% recycled. While regulations, environmental frameworks, and financing mechanisms exist, Europe lacks the physical industrial capacity to turn...
Europe’s pursuit of strategic autonomy in raw materials, electrification metals and industrial processing capacity is entering a decade defined by volatile energy markets, shifting logistics routes, geopolitical fragmentation and competition for midstream value creation. ReSourceEU has marked Europe’s strategic intent, but the 2030–2040 horizon will determine whether Europe becomes a competitive processing region or remains...

Europe’s shift toward industrial sovereignty has reached the point where political ambition meets the limits of engineering reality. The ReSourceEU framework has given the continent clearly defined targets for raw-material extraction, processing and recycling, but the true challenge lies in the translation of these targets into concrete, buildable projects. Extraction alone does not generate strategic...

Europe stands at a point where policy ambition finally exceeds industrial capacity. With ReSourceEU, the European Union has moved from abstract sustainability rhetoric toward measurable industrial objectives: 10 percent of strategic raw materials extracted within the EU, 40 percent processed inside the bloc, and 25 percent recycled, all by 2030. The numbers are clean. The...
