The raw materials are seen as essential for the EU&#8217;s digital and green transitions.<\/p>\n<p>The EU is developing sustainable projects for critical raw materials to reduce the risk of potential supply-chain disruptions. This will ensure that industrial sectors have the necessary resources while maintaining EU environmental and social standards. The new joint facility will support the objectives of the EU\u2019s Critical Raw Materials Act and the REPowerEU Plan. The EBRD is providing \u20ac25 million and this will be matched by the EU\u2019s contribution from the Horizon Europe Programme under the InvestEU umbrella. The facility aims to mobilise a further \u20ac50 million.<\/p>\n<p>As mining exploration activities do not yet generate revenue, the most suitable support instrument is seen to be equity. The EBRD expects to invest in 5-10 junior mining companies (small and medium-sized enterprises, medium-sized enterprises or small mid-caps) that undertake critical raw material exploration in eligible countries.The facility will also contribute to one of the key priorities of the EBRD\u2019s Mining Sector Strategy, to support the exploration and production of metals and minerals required for the green energy transition and digitalisation.<\/p>\n<p>The facility will be used to fund responsible exploration activities, delivered to high climate, governance, environmental and social impact standards. The EBRD\u2019s rigorous Paris Agreement alignment and Environmental and Social Policy screening will be applied to all projects.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.eubusiness.com\/news-eu\/ebrd-bank-critical-raw-materials-18hu\/\">EUbusiness<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/vaufien\/ebrd-eu-launch-eur-100m-equity-investment-facility-for-critical-raw-materials\/\">EBRD-EU launch EUR 100m equity investment facility for critical raw materials<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[15543,15544,606,607,608],"class_list":["post-132789","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-critical-raw-material","tag-ebrd-eu","tag-vau_viikkokatsaus","tag-vauen","tag-vaufien"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/132789","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=132789"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/132789\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=132789"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=132789"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=132789"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
