Without critical raw materials, there is no green transition and digital transition.
The Critical Raw Materials Act will improve Europe's refining, processing and recycling of raw materials.
And create a Critical Raw Materials Club with reliable partners to diversify supply.

Schalenblende is a mixture of sphalerite, marcasite, pyrite, galena and wurtzite occurring in concentric layers.
In Belgian occurrences, some layers of sphalerite are rich in critical metals such as Ge. More details➡️tinyurl.com/52j8r7xy

I was honoured to meet the #Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant staff and personally thank them for their resilience and courage during such extremely difficult times. They have my and @IAEAorg's full respect and admiration: they are heroes.
A fantastic plume of SO2 over Australia and tons of heavy metals. This volcano should be stopped immediately and sent to court 🤭

Fully agree that innovation is needed to reach more mature and efficient technologies.
At #COP26, leaders would be well-advised not to follow the tradition of empty promises with eyewatering costs and little climate benefits. Instead, they should drastically ramp up funding for green energy innovation.

Merci pour ce travail d'analyse et de rigueur. Déclic! Quelle équipe 😉
J’ai quasiment tout lu… des 146 pages du rapport du CSS sur le nucléaire.
Sans être un expert de ces enjeux, voici ce que j’en ai compris et retenu 👇

On Earth, watching sunrise and sunset is a pretty ordinary phenomenon. However, from the Moon’s South Pole, the Sun glides around the horizon, creating extremely long shadows while the Earth appears to be upside-down and rotating backwards. That’s right… backwards! Take a look:

Thomas Sopwith made these models of sedimentary strata in 1841, combining his cabinet-making background & interest in geology.
They are based on mining districts in Northern England & the different woods represent different geological formations.

Bon. Je n'y connais rien... mais voir que les "as du volant" sont incapables de s'affronter sous la pluie.. cela me laisse perplexe. C'est sûrement l'humilité face à l'humidité 🤣
⏳ Bien que l'attente soit interminable, le Grand Prix de Belgique 2021 est bien parti pour devenir l'épreuve la plus courte de l'histoire de la F1 🏁
Le record actuel est détenu par le Grand Prix d'Australie 1991 : 24 minutes ⏱️
