Two additional entities<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nCoordinated by SINTEF, the collaboration covers the entire critical raw materials value chain, ensuring a comprehensive and cohesive approach to achieving the project’s ambitious goals.<\/p>\n
By combining expertise from research institutions and industry leaders, MECALO is poised to deliver transformative results that will strengthen Europe’s position in the global CRM market.<\/p>\n
The MECALO project officially kicked off with a meeting in Trondheim, Norway, on October 28-29, 2024.<\/p>\n
During the event, project partners outlined their roles and laid the groundwork for the 42-month initiative. Participants also visited SINTEF’s state-of-the-art laboratories to explore the cutting-edge technologies essential for achieving MECALO’s objectives.<\/p>\n

A path toward sustainable CRM production<\/h3>\n The MECALO project embodies the EU’s commitment to sustainable innovation, aiming to secure a resilient future for critical industries.<\/p>\n
By prioritising CO2-free production and leveraging renewable hydrogen, MECALO addresses urgent challenges in CRM production while aligning with Europe’s climate neutrality targets.<\/p>\n
Through collaboration and cutting-edge research, this transformative initiative not only reduces environmental impact but also enhances Europe’s industrial autonomy.<\/p>\n
As MECALO progresses, it sets the stage for a cleaner, more sustainable future for the production of critical raw materials, ensuring Europe remains competitive and environmentally responsible on the global stage.<\/p>\n
