He therefore stressed the importance of \u201cincreasing our own mineral-processing capabilities so that value remains in the region and security of supply becomes truly effective\u201d. He concluded that \u201ctechnological development will play a decisive role in achieving this goal\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.corporaciontecnologica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Observatorio-de-Innovacion-CTA-Materias-Primas-1-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-71795\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.3333767383717903;width:565px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.corporaciontecnologica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Observatorio-de-Innovacion-CTA-Materias-Primas-1-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.corporaciontecnologica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Observatorio-de-Innovacion-CTA-Materias-Primas-1-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.corporaciontecnologica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Observatorio-de-Innovacion-CTA-Materias-Primas-1-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.corporaciontecnologica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Observatorio-de-Innovacion-CTA-Materias-Primas-1-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.corporaciontecnologica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Observatorio-de-Innovacion-CTA-Materias-Primas-1.jpeg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the opening of the event, CTA\u2019s President highlighted that \u201cAndalusia has a strategic opportunity to turn its wealth of critical raw materials into industrial development, employment and technological leadership\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He stressed that \u201chaving these resources is not enough; the real challenge is to advance across the entire value chain, from extraction to industrial processing, while integrating innovation, sustainability and technology to strengthen Europe\u2019s industrial autonomy and the competitiveness of our companies\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He also emphasised that CTA is ready to advise and support companies in bringing innovative critical raw materials projects to life by facilitating access to expertise, funding and collaborative networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 id=\"h-lack-of-supply-planning\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Lack of supply planning<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jos\u00e9 Manuel Torralba, Professor at Universidad Carlos III and former Director of the IMDEA Materials Institute, discussed the strategic role of critical materials in Europe\u2019s industrial autonomy. He noted that \u201cEurope has gone to great lengths to regulate everything in order to secure a sustainable future. However, in doing so, it has allowed other economic powers to overtake us in innovation and manufacturing and, even more concerningly, to gain control of essential raw material sources needed for both.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cModern devices require almost the entire periodic table to function, while so-called \u2018new energies\u2019 are driving exponential growth in metal consumption. Their deployment is therefore at risk due to a serious lack of foresight regarding raw material supplies,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Torralba also highlighted China\u2019s advantageous position. The country accounts for over 81% of global natural graphite production and 90% of global refining capacity for battery-grade graphite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.corporaciontecnologica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Observatorio-de-Innovacion-CTA-Materias-Primas-21-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-71797\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.3333767383717903;width:611px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.corporaciontecnologica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Observatorio-de-Innovacion-CTA-Materias-Primas-21-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.corporaciontecnologica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Observatorio-de-Innovacion-CTA-Materias-Primas-21-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.corporaciontecnologica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Observatorio-de-Innovacion-CTA-Materias-Primas-21-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.corporaciontecnologica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Observatorio-de-Innovacion-CTA-Materias-Primas-21-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.corporaciontecnologica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Observatorio-de-Innovacion-CTA-Materias-Primas-21.jpeg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Torralba explained that the EU \u201chas finally woken up\u201d and is addressing critical raw material shortages and the dominance of countries such as China through measures including the Critical Raw Materials Act, which sets European capacity targets for 2030; the designation of strategic projects; circularity and sustainability measures; and a strategic procurement and joint stockpiling plan to aggregate demand from European companies and negotiate better terms with global suppliers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Together, these measures aim to secure a sustainable supply of critical raw materials over the medium and long term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 id=\"h-report-on-andalusia-s-capabilities\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Report on Andalusia\u2019s capabilities<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rafael Castillo, Senior European Projects Manager at CTA, presented the report <em>Andalusia\u2019s Capabilities in Critical Raw Materials<\/em>, prepared by CTA as part of the European IRMHUB project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Highlighting one of the report\u2019s main conclusions, Castillo stated that \u201cAndalusia is no longer merely a transit point, but a strategic region capable of helping Europe reduce its dependence on Asia for critical raw materials and key technologies\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe have the deposits and the recycling capacity; now Andalusia must lead the way in high-purity refining to strengthen Europe\u2019s independence,\u201d he added.

It is developing the CirCular project, recognised as strategic by both the Regional Government of Andalusia and the European Commission. This major circular economy initiative aims to process around 60,000 tonnes of non-ferrous metal fractions from waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) each year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Greening Relive, backed by Granada-based CTA member company Greening, specialises in the management, treatment and recycling of WEEE, with a pioneering approach to the comprehensive recycling of solar panels. One of its goals is to transform more than 60,000 tonnes of electronic waste annually into reusable raw materials, helping reduce Europe\u2019s dependence on newly extracted minerals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 id=\"h-about-the-cta-innovation-observatory\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>About the CTA Innovation Observatory<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Launched in January 2026 with a report on innovation trends, the CTA Innovation Observatory serves as a radar for monitoring future opportunities driven by R&amp;D, innovation and technology.
