Steel scrap case study on CRM recovery from The Netherlands Materials Observatory
This study from the NMO examines the risks related to critical raw materials (CRM’s) for the realisation of a Dutch climate-neutral energy system.
This report from the Netherlands Materials Observatory (NMO) offers an economic perspective on critical materials and disruptions to their supply.
In this casy study, the NMO examined the concentration of critical raw materials in material streams from bottom ash using Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS).
The NMO collects, manages, and provides data, information, and knowledge about critical raw materials and supply chains. The NMO was officially launched on 12 February.
Currently, there is a sufficient supply of copper in the world, but due to strong competition in the global market, prices fluctuate and there is more uncertainty. The Netherlands Materials Observatory (NMO) looked into this on behalf of the Dutch government.
Opportunities for extracting CRM in the Netherlands are assessed in the National Exploration Programme (NEP) by the Netherlands Materials Observatory (NMO) on behalf of the Ministry of Economic Affairs (EZ).
The NMO publishes the report 'Supply uncertainty in the manufacturing industry'. This report describes the results of a survey and interviews among FME members, on supply disruptions.
This report by the NMO explores the potential of hard disk drives and provides an analysis of the current recycling of critical raw materials in the Dutch value chain.

Europe is dependent on China for rare earth metals. Earlier this month China imposed additional export restrictions on these metals. This has big consequences for Europe.
The energy transition in the Netherlands is increasing demand for critical raw materials. New NMO analysis shows that energy system planning choices will strongly shape future demand.
In this interview, NMO-expert Andor Lips explains the geological context of Greenland and answers questions about critical raw materials and their significance.
TNO-GDN and the South African CGS are strengthening their partnership in the fields of critical raw materials, geosciences and CO2 reduction. NMO supports this partnership.
On Monday 13 April, the NMO organised a successful networking event in Rijswijk for industry, central government and research institutions. The programme focused on strengthening cooperation.
NMO casestudy on the economic impact of supply disruptions affecting critical materials. The study examined the rare earth elements crisis between China and Japan in 2010.
The Strait of Hormuz is one of the world’s most critical maritime chokepoints. The NMO has mapped out the potential consequences for the availability of critical raw materials for the Netherlands in the event of a closure of the Strait of Hormuz.
On 2 July a Polish delegation visited the Netherlands Materials Observatory (NMO) to discuss how the Netherlands organises knowledge, data and collaboration around critical raw materials.
The Netherlands Materials Observatory (NMO) has examined whether the material streams generated during the separation and washing of bottom ash contain high concentrations of critical materials.
TNO is strengthening its international partnership with Chile and Vietnam. Multi-year partnership agreements have been signed with both countries, focusing on knowledge development and exchange regarding critical raw materials. Activities carried out within the Netherlands Materials Observatory (NMO) contributed to the development of these agreements.
For the first time, The Netherlands has drawn up a national list of 17 critical raw materials that are important for the economy and security, yet are subject to supply risks. The list was recommended by the Netherlands Materials Observatory (NMO) and is one of the tools designed to give the implementation of the National Raw Materials Strategy a more focused direction.
Standards can play an important role in strengthening the security of supply of critical raw materials. This is evident from the report 'Standardisation and Critical Raw Materials in the Dutch Context', drawn up by NEN and TNO on behalf of the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate. The report demonstrates how existing and new standards can contribute to more transparent, sustainable and circular value chains.
Peter Paul van ’t Veen looks back on a year and a half of NMO looks a ahead of the future: from reliable information and explanation to action perspectives for government and the industry.
