BrineRIS Project has started a series of capacity-building training workshops, preferably for professionals from RIS countries. The first one was held on August 30-31 in Espoo, Finland, at GTK- Geological Survey of Finland’s headquarters. The two-day hybrid BrineRIS Professional Training on Geodata Management was based on the experience and solutions of GTK. Jyrki Kokkonen and Quentin Dehaine introduced on-site and online trainees to databases, data collection systems, GIS-based online solutions, and geological and geometalurgical data acquisition and management. For the consortium partners, it was the opportunity to finally meet in person after a long period of remote meetings. Next year’s workshop is planned in Hungary and will be related to geothermal water and energy.
Many thanks to Małgorzata Szlachta and GTK’s team for the excellent organization of the event.

Limited access to critical raw materials (CRM) is the main obstacle to developing the high-tech and battery sectors. However, thanks to the striking development of efficient soluble elements recovery technologies, highly mineralised water (brine) is a potential unconventional source of metals. Usually occurring at great depths, under conditions of high pressure and hot temperatures, brines mineralised up to 300-350 g/L may contain economic concentrations of metallic elements, such as CRM from the EU 2021 list (Li, Mg, Sr), Na, Ba and others. Therefore, exploring non-obvious metals resources (such as geothermal brines) and innovative metals recovery technologies is necessary to ensure a sustainable and secure European supply of battery metals. It also supports European Raw Materials Alliance (ERMA) vision “to secure access to critical and strategic raw materials, advanced materials, and processing know-how for EU Industrial Ecosystems”.

The technology needed to recover metallic elements from brines is under development in several KAVA projects, e.g., EuGeLi or Morecovery. However, the location of brines with reliable and stable sources of metals is still an open question. Our BrineRIS project will locate brines in Europe suitable for economically feasible metal recovery and test the emerging recovery technologies in the lab. Focusing on RIS countries of the Iberian Peninsula and Visegrad Group, whose thermal brines resources are proven, the BrineRIS project will deliver verified information on brines enriched in Li and other valuable elements. Special attention will be paid to existing mine water inflows and operating geothermal wells.

We are happy to share that the BrineRIS project is visible at more and more events. Last weeks it was promoted by Technische Universität Bergakademie Freiberg (TUBAF).

«From 8 to 10 June, the 73rd BHT – FREIBERGER UNIVERSITÄTSFORUM took place. Several hundred participants discussed the topic «Shaping the energy and raw materials transition with innovations» in various sessions. The BrineRIS project was presented with a poster in the specialist colloquium «Robotics for Mining, Underground Inspection & Environmental Monitoring».
On 14 June, WP leader Thomas Grab presented the project to local authorities, energy suppliers and representatives of the authorities as part of the heat pump workshop of the Chair of Technical Thermodynamics.
Finally, the project was also presented with a roll-up at the Freiberg Science Night from 18 June to 19 June. At the same time, the project staff conducted exciting experiments with the guests on topics such as cooling drinks, thermal insulation and regenerative energy production.»
