The EU wants to secure its supply of raw materials. To this end, the European Parliament adopted the Critical Raw Materials Act in December 2023. One of these measures, namely the selection and promotion of certain strategic projects, has now been implemented. How do European civil society and PowerShift assess these selected projects? Is the EU taking a step towards securing raw materials for the energy transition? And what problems could arise if the EU also selects strategic projects in third countries as planned? Nora Noll talks about this with Michael Reckordt from PowerShift's raw materials team.
