2 Expanding International R&D Cooperation - Raw materials of strategic economic importance PD Dr. Lothar Mennicken, BMBF, Division Resources and Sustainability Delegation visit to Brazil, Chile and Peru, 19-27th September 2015 Germany Peru Brazil Chile

3 Partner Countries of the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research in Latin-America Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Mexiko cooperation based on formal STC-agreements Peru, Colombia cooperation in initial stage Thematic priority areas: Life sciences Environment (incl. marine and polar research)/climate change Ressource efficiency and raw materials Biotechnology/bio-economy 2015: more than 140 supported STC-projects Germany-Latin-America 2

4 Peru a new Partner in Latin-America Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for the cooperation in scientific research and technological development signed in Priority Areas: biodiversity, marine research, research on environment (incl. mining and climate change) 2011 publication of the Research Map Peru. June 2013 exhibition of the MPG Science-Tunnel at PUCP- University in Lima. 11 Mobility-Projects funded between 2012 and Total budget: LiWa Water Management for Lima Metropolitana funded by BMBF from 2005 till 2014 with 3.5 Mio

5 Political Framework The New German HighTech-Strategy Top priority for the future: Sustainable economy and energy Research for Sustainable Development: FONA 3 3rd edition of research framework programme 3 flagship initiatives, i.e. Green Economy 3 main research areas, i.e. intelligent use of resources 6

6 Political Framework Strategy of the Federal Government for the Internationalization of Science and Research Strengthening Germany's role in the global knowledge society and establishing partnerships International Cooperation - Action Plan of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research Developing innovation potential internationally Strengthening cooperation with developing or emerging countries Scientific excellence via international cooperation 7

7 Political Framework Raw Materials Strategy (2010) Safeguarding a sustainable supply of non-energy mineral resources for German industry South America rich in raw materials Brazil,Chile and Peru act as important suppliers of natural resources Brazil covers 8,5% of German raw materials imports (source: DERA) Chile, Peru among the 12 most interesting growth countries for German economy (source: BDI-Study) 8

8 R&D programme on raw materials technologies Raw Materials of strategic economic importance for high-tech made in Germany Promote R&D along the entire value chain of non-energetic mineral raw materials Applied research up to demonstration level, combined with basic research + education Increase supply of raw materials of strategic economic importance from primary and secondary sources for German industry app. 200 Mio EUR funding over 5-10 years 9

9 BMBF s Strategic Approaches in Raw Material Research Increasing raw materials productivity r² r+impuls (TRL> 5) CLIENT, DE-FR Accelerating transfer from research to industry International collaboration Intelligent and sustainable use of resources Securing raw materials base Broadening raw materials base r³, r 4 CO 2 -utilisation KMU-innovativ: Resource efficiency Promoting SMEs 10

10 CLIENT International Partnerships Aim: model projects, development & implementation of environmental and climate protection technologies and services Ongoing projects in: Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Vietnam, Chile, Topics:, resource efficiency, land management, water management, climate protection Funding: ca. 60 Mio. during on the way to CLIENT II with planned regional focus on raw materials of strategic economic importance in South America 11

11 CLIENT - Project: SecMinStratEl (Chile) Secondary Mining Extraction of strategic elements from mining dumps at selected Chilean sites Coordination: TU Bergakademie Freiberg Source: PTJ / Maike Hauschild Chile: market leader in copper production, fifth largest silver exporter and third largest gold producer in Latin America Mining dumps contain large quantities of strategic raw materials Aim: Determination of the recoverability of strategic elements from special mine sites and development of concepts for the environmentally friendly storage of the residues. 12

12 CLIENT - Project: IEPALT (Brazil) Integration of spent pot liners originating from primary aluminium production into the aluminium recycling technology, IEPALT Coordination: CUTEC GmbH Aluminium production Brazil is part of the six biggest aluminium producers worldwide Primary aluminum production generates spent pot liner (SPL) as process residues > needs handling as extremely hazardous material Aim: Development of a method for recycling the entire SPL material, including the carbon fraction, originating from fused-salt reactors that are used for primary aluminium production. 13

13 CLIENT - Project: AMREP (South Africa) Applied Mineralogy for Resource Efficiency - Platinum group metals (PGM) Coordination: Helmholtz Centre Potsdam - GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences SAF holds 70% of world reserves in platinum Inefficient extraction and beneficiation due to poor knowledge on PGM bearing minerals Source: BGR / Drilling core from PGM-containing ore, Thaba-Mine, South Africa. Aim: Improving the efficiency of platinum resources in South Africa (Thaba Mine) by means of characterization of primary ores, beneficiation testwork of ore types and geometallurgical modelling of the deposit. 14

14 PERU - Foundations of cooperation Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWi) and MINEM: Bilateral governmental agreement (2014) Exploration, development, exploitation and processing of natural raw materials Environmentally sound closure of mines; recultivation Development of technological infrastructure Improvement of commodity- and resource-efficiency Implementing environmental and social standards in the mining sector Construction of new mining facilities; Equipment, modernization, reconstruction of existing mines Support conclusion of private-law contracts 17
