[EU Selects 13 Foreign Strategic Raw Material Support Projects, Including a Graphite Mine in Greenland] To ensure access to critical raw materials, the European Commission has selected 13 strategic projects located outside the EU, including a graphite mine in southern Greenland. In a statement, the European Commission said that these projects will receive "coordinated support" from the Commission, member states, and financial institutions, facilitating financing and connections with relevant buyers. The Commission estimates that a total capital investment of €5.5 billion will be required to launch and operate these 13 projects. These projects involve strategic raw materials such as lithium, nickel, cobalt, manganese, graphite, and rare earths. Other projects are located in Canada, Kazakhstan, Norway, Serbia, Ukraine, Zambia, New Caledonia, Brazil, Madagascar, Malawi, South Africa, and the UK. The newly selected projects will complement the list of 47 strategic projects already adopted within the EU on March 25.

[SMM Stainless Steel Flash] JISCO Successfully Mass-Produces 347H Stainless Steel Plates for CSP Applications

JISCO has achieved a breakthrough in special steel rolling technology, successfully mass-producing 347H stainless steel plates (8mm × 2600mm) for molten salt storage tanks used in concentrated solar power (CSP) plants. Known as the "energy storage heart" of CSP facilities, high-temperature molten salt tanks demand exceptional heat and corrosion resistance. JISCO's self-developed 347H stainless steel delivers outstanding high-temperature strength, oxidation resistance, and intergranular corrosion resistance, reducing weld seams to enhance structural safety and service life of thermal energy storage equipment, supporting the large-scale growth of China's CSP industry.
