活動簡介
As part of its commitment to sustainable and responsible mining practices, Eramet has launched a new start-up competition in collaboration with EIT RawMaterials: the Eramet Water Resource Innovation Challenge 2023.
Water is a crucial resource in the mining and metals production, but its availability and quality are limited. The mining industry uses water for a variety of purposes, including mineral processing, dust suppression, slurry transport and storage, and extraction processes. Global water demand is projected to increase by 55 per cent by 2050 (OECD 2012) while global water shortage resulting from climate change aggravates. The Eramet Water Resource Innovation Challenge is about taking action to tackle the water challenges. In fact, Eramet has made water conservation one of the objectives of its 2018-2023 CSR roadmap – and will very soon make it a major priority in its new roadmap.
This innovation challenge aims to accelerate change within the mining and metals industry to minimize its environmental impact while also ensuring access to valuable resources. It calls for breakthrough solutions that will help create a better future for all.
作為其對可持續和負責任採礦實踐承諾的一部分，Eramet 與 EIT RawMaterials 合作發起了一項新的創業競賽：2023 年 Eramet 水資源創新挑戰賽。

水是採礦和金屬生產中的重要資源，但其可用性和質量有限。採礦業將水用於多種用途，包括礦物加工、抑塵、泥漿運輸和儲存以及提取過程。到 2050 年，全球水需求預計將增加 55%（OECD 2012），而氣候變化導致的全球水資源短缺加劇。埃赫曼水資源創新挑戰賽旨在採取行動應對水資源挑戰。事實上，埃赫曼已將節約用水作為其2018-2023 年企業社會責任路線圖的目標之一——並將很快將其作為新路線圖的主要優先事項。

這一創新挑戰旨在加速採礦和金屬行業的變革，以最大限度地減少其對環境的影響，同時確保獲得寶貴資源。 它需要突破性的解決方案，以幫助為所有人創造更美好的未來。

活動主題
The mining industry faces significant challenges in managing water resources sustainably, including water scarcity, water pollution, and conflicts with other water users. That is why Eramet is looking for disruptive solutions designed to deliver rapid, transformative change towards a sustainable mining and metals industry. The primary focus of this challenge is to minimize the environmental impact of the mining and metals industry, and to promote sustainable development through technology.
Do you have a disruptive solution that fits to one of Eramet’s focus areas:
Water Use
Water Quality
Environment
採礦業在可持續管理水資源方面面臨重大挑戰，包括缺水、水污染以及與其他用水戶的衝突。 這就是為什麼 Eramet 正在尋找旨在為可持續採礦和金屬行業提供快速、變革性變革的顛覆性解決方案。 這一挑戰的主要重點是盡量減少採礦和金屬行業對環境的影響，並通過技術促進可持續發展。

您是否有適合埃赫曼關注領域之一的顛覆性解決方案：

用水
水質
環境
參賽資格
Companies, start-ups or SMEs, composed of a team of at least 2 people
Providing a solution with an advanced technological maturity, at least level 5 on the TRL scale (technology readiness level). The proposed solutions should be scalable, technically feasible, economically viable, and environmentally sustainable.
