Critical Raw Materials (CRM) are indispensable for the production of modern technologies that drive innovation, economic growth, and the transition to a sustainable future. Recognising their strategic importance, the European Union has identified and prioritised the study, extraction, and sustainable management. The CRM Act has accelerated this focus, aiming to strengthen supply chain resilience and drive economic development. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the distribution and mineral potential of CRMs across Europe.
