Closing the loop on Electric Mobility.
CarMine will develop innovative solutions to recover critical and strategic raw materials from end-of-life electric vehicles, supporting their reintegration into European value chains.
OBJECTIVE 1
Streamlined EV Dismantling
Developing safe, rapid dismantling workflows to recover at least 85% of end-of-life vehicle weight in under 60 minutes.
OBJECTIVE 2
Closed-Loop Material Recovery
Upcycling high-purity critical raw materials, including battery metals (Li, Ni, Co) and rare earth elements (REEs), directly back into European manufacturing.
OBJECTIVE 3
Decentralised Value Chain Traceability
Implementing a blockchain-based Digital Product Passport (DPP) to ensure secure, end-to-end material tracking across the supply chain.
OBJECTIVE 4
Safety Standards
Integrating environmental and economic assessments to achieve a 20% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions and unit recovery costs.
OBJECTIVE 5
Sustainable and
Cost-Effective Design
Identify critical process operations affecting human health and implement improvements to enhance safety
