Objectives
Offer a sustainable and energy efficient solution for responsible extraction and processing of Titanium together with other Primary Raw Materials from strategic partner country Ukraine to supply EU industrial value chains and strategic sectors with a net zero-waste approach
Implement
Innovative technologies for sustainable and decarbonised extraction in terms of industrial viability, safety and environmental impacts
Develop and demonstrate
the extraction and processing technologies to facilitate exploitation of the primary raw critical raw materials to strengthen the EU supply chains
Supply
raw materials for EU users in collaboration with EU strategic partner countries
Achieve
sustainability and versatility in extraction and processing of Titanium towards zero waste and low carbon economy models by means of clustering activities with other projects and initiatives
demonstrate
the functionality of developed materials, processes, and equipment for 4 specific industrial applications in terms of resource and energy consumption and CO2 footprint
Develop
a Circular Business Model (CBM) and an exploitation plan
The REPTiS expected results and impacts are
of the already available and environmentally friendly Velta Ti Process through advances in ilmenite mining, extraction and processing, with a zero-waste approach, aiming at replacing the energy dense and highly carbonized Kroll+EIGA process with a new supply chain in EU
of the project results through versatile real life use cases, real parts produced with various PM technologies (Metal Injection Moulding, Metal Additive Manufacturing, etc) to raise awareness for market acceptance of the new powders. The parts will be applications in the following sectors:
- Medical
- Aerospace
- Consumer goods
of LCA data sets on Titanium, especially in powder form, and Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) study on the four case studies, to evaluate the environmental performance of the developed technologies
of Titanium, together with other Primary Raw Materials, in Ukraine, a strategic partner country for EU, with sustainable processes, and transformation into metal powders, and other useful by-products, to supply the EU industrial value chains and strategic sectors with titanium alloy powders with a net zero-waste approach
