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.

Brazil’s New Oil Frontier Could Keep Its Boom Alive For Decades

Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has hailed a new offshore oil discovery by Petrobras (NYSE: PBR) near the mouth of the Amazon River as a "passport to the country's future", continuing his support for controversial oil and gas drilling in Amazon's ecologically sensitive regions. Last week, the state-run Oil & Gas giant announced it has found oil at the Morpho-1 well (Block FZA-M-59) in the mouth of the Amazon roughly 180 kilometres (112 miles) off the coast of Amapa state, “All of our studies indicate substantial potential.…

Hormuz Oil Crisis Accelerates Global EV Sales

Global electric vehicle sales have surged this year following the oil supply disruption in the Middle East and the second oil price shock in four years. The accelerating EV adoption that began with the spike in oil and fuel prices earlier this year is set to remain a trend in the global markets and could push the share of EVs in the passenger fleet above earlier expectations, analysts at Wood Mackenzie say. Challenges to accelerated adoption still remain, including the need for billions of U.S. dollars in investments in critical battery minerals…

Washington Eases Gasoline Rules as Iran Pressure Campaign Jolts Fuel Costs

Washington is tightening the screws on Iran and loosening the rules on gasoline at the same time as Americans are paying more than $4 a gallon. The Environmental Protection Agency on Thursday authorized an early switch to cheaper winter-grade gasoline, allowing sales of gasoline blended with 10% ethanol beginning September 1 rather than waiting for the normal mid-September seasonal transition. The administration says ending summer-blend requirements early could add hundreds of thousands of barrels per day to domestic gasoline supply and provide…

How Solar Panel Prices Fell 90 Percent In 15 Years

Solar power is far and away the world’s fastest-growing form of energy production, beating out every other form of energy on Earth in 2025. Despite a recent political pivot away from renewable energies in the world’s largest economy, solar power additions continue to shatter its own records year over year as the sector has long since outgrown any need for subsidies. Solar power has simply become too cheap to fail. “We have a plentiful and cheap source of electricity that can be built quickly, almost anywhere in the world,”…
