Tailings of Mining and Processing as Alternative Raw Material Repository

European political initiatives like for example Horizon 2020, the European Innovation Partnership (EIP) on raw materials, the Knowledge and Innovation Community (KIC) for raw materials, and the European Technology Platform on Sustainable Mineral Resources (ETP SMR) show the vital importance of a secure raw material supply to our industry.

The more critical raw materials such as platinum group metals, alloy elements for steel production, high-tech metals, and rare earths are referred to as materials of strategic economic importance. According to the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research these materials are necessary for leading-edge Technology and future economic growth in highly developed countries. The majority of these materials must be imported from abroad. Economy sectors that require these minerals and metals are, therefore, vulnerable to crises and high export taxes. In addition to that, the current world marked situation is characterized by too low supply and too high demand. A direct supply of such raw materials from deposits within a country like Germany would contribute significantly to the relaxation of its economic situation with regard to this Problem.

Die innerstaatliche Umsetzung des Pariser Klimaschutzübereinkommens - ein Rechtsvergleich
© Lexxion Verlagsgesellschaft mbH (8/2024)
Like all public international law treaties, the Paris Climate Accords rely on national law for their implementation. The success of the agreement therefore depends, to a large extent, on the stepstaken or not taken by national governments and legislators as well as on the instruments and mechanisms chosen for this task. Against this background, the present article compares different approaches to the implementation of the Paris Agreement, using court decisions as a means to assess their (legal) effectiveness.
