[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.
