Overview of raw materials in the Netherlands
The Netherlands Materials Observatory (NMO) not only sheds light on global raw material flows and the geological context of extraction sites, but also on current production, and the potential for extraction of critical raw materials in the Netherlands. See below for more information on the Netherlands' position as a raw material producer, consumer, and trading country in the international market.
Knowledge about raw materials
How can we better understand the complexities of the raw materials market, from extraction to final product? The NMO brings together knowledge and expertise in this field for government, businesses, and society.
Raw materials in the Netherlands
Does the Netherlands have any critical raw materials that are in demand in the EU? The NMO conducts research into the geological potential in the Dutch subsurface.
Raw materials worldwide
Every trade flow starts with the extraction of raw materials. An understanding of the specific geological context of the extraction sites aids the analysis of trade flow sensitivities and their impact on the Dutch economy.
