Description
Kisserup was contracted by CESO CI International as a follow-up on a study on Critical Raw Materials on six key Critical Raw Materials (CRM) (Magnesium, Nickel, Graphite, Lithium, REE, and Cobalt) for EC DG GROW.
Following the results of the previous CRM study, the EU is aiming to support a self-standing project to support all three pillars of the EU-Canada Strategic Partnership on Raw Materials: 1) the integration of Canada-EU raw material value chains; 2) science, technology, and innovation collaboration; and 3) environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria and standards. Consequently, the objective of the current project was to engage with the recommendations of the previous CRM study and build on them to design and create an actionable project on CRM.
Kisserup fully met the contractual obligations and completed all the project elements and deliverables as per the contract. This project was completed on time and within budget.
