The Material and Digital Traceability for the Certification of Critical Raw Materials (MaDiTraCe) project, funded under the Horizon Europe programme, received an initial EUR 8 million in public funding to enhance the reliability of critical raw material (CRM) tracking and transparency in complex supply chains. The project focuses on developing and testing independent digital and geo-based approaches for CRM traceability, integrating them with a generic certification scheme for CRMs throughout mineral supply chains, from mining to manufacturing and recycling.

By enhancing traceability and certification, MaDiTraCe seeks to support responsible sourcing and transparency in the supply chain. Key objectives include increasing the Technology Readiness Level of experimental methods in digital and material sciences, addressing the complexity of mineral supply chains, and ensuring compliance with regulations such as the EU Battery Regulation and the German Supply Chain Act. The project emphasises a strong stakeholder process involving upstream and downstream industries, continuous interaction with industrial and policy-oriented stakeholders, and the implementation and exploitation of project outcomes.

Big Oil Eyes Record Profits but Keeps Spending in Check

Oil supermajors have been raking it in since the war in the Middle East began. They are now set to report another robust quarter, even as some jurisdictions where they operate plan to slap windfall taxes on them. The question now is what Big Oil will do with these profits. The answer: it probably won’t be a spending spree. They sure have the money for a spree. If the second quarter is any indication—and it is—oil and gas majors are having a really strong year. Out of all S&P 500 sectors, Energy booked annual growth of 128.2%…

As BP Leaves the North Sea, These Independents Are Buying In

Back in July, UK oil and gas major BP Plc. (NYSE:BP) announced that it was putting its entire UK North Sea oil and gas business up for sale as part of a broader $20-billion portfolio overhaul, marking the end of a 60-year era as a leading player in Europe's largest oil basin.
