CLIC Innovation is the coordinating partner for this project, which will officially start around October 2024 and run for four years. The project has a total budget of €18 million, with an EU grant of €16 million. The REMHub consortium consists of 24 partners from Finland, Spain, Estonia, Italy, Slovenia, and Ireland.
The project’s objectives include developing and testing novel technologies for the exploration and primary production of rare earth elements (REEs), recovery of REEs from side streams, and recycling permanent magnets. Additionally, REMHub will focus on creating technologies for the traceability of REEs and permanent magnets within the EU and developing methodologies for designing electric motors that facilitate recycling permanent magnets with reduced use of heavy rare earth elements (HREEs). The ultimate aim is to establish a cutting-edge digital innovation hub that drives EU excellence in Rare Earth Elements and permanent magnets, offering a range of services in REE.
