In May 2024, the Critical Raw Materials Act entered into force, introducing binding targets, supply chain resilience measures, and new obligations on sourcing, reporting, and strategic project participation across the EU.

Since its adoption, the CRMA was reinforced by additional EU actions, including:

  • Selection of 60 Strategic Projects focused on battery materials and EU processing capacity
  • Adoption of the RESourceEU plan accelerating circularity, investment, strategic projects, and coordinated raw material stockpiling
  • A proposal to amend the CRMA to address geopolitical risks and implementation gaps, particularly targeting strategic raw materials
