(Adnkronos) - Con 1,2 miliardi di euro di investimenti, l’Italia può ridurre la dipendenza dall’estero per le materie prime critiche di quasi un terzo generando oltre 6 miliardi di euro di valore aggiunto per la filiera al 2040. È questa una delle principali evidenze emerse a Roma all’evento “La road map italiana per le materie prime critiche” organizzato da Iren, in cui è stato presentato lo studio commissionato dal Gruppo e realizzato da TEHA Group. L’Europa, come l’Italia, ha una grave dipendenza dall’estero, soprattutto dalla Cina che produce il 56% delle materie prime critiche importate in UE. Lo studio traccia un percorso di sviluppo per l’Italia, in cui le materie prime critiche sono già oggi un elemento chiave per la competitività nazionale.

00:00With 1.2 billion euros of investments, Italy can reduce its dependence from abroad on raw materials by almost a third, generating over 6 billion euros of added value for the sector by 2040.
00:17This is one of the main evidences that emerged in Rome at the Roadmap Italiana event for raw materials organized by IREN,
00:25where the studio commissioned by the group and realized by Thea Group was presented.
00:30In the most advanced and sophisticated industries, such as mechatronics, robotics and electronics,
00:38in these areas, without raw materials, we will not be able to be competitive, indeed, we will not be able to be, period.
00:47We will not be able to realize the advanced technological solutions typical of Made in Italy in these competitive areas.
00:56It is essential to have raw materials to support our industrial production and we undergo an infraction procedure and we do not create that minimum value that is easier to obtain.
01:10But all of Europe has a serious dependence from abroad, especially from China, which produces 56% of the raw materials imported in the EU.
01:18As the study reveals, the gap of investments between Europe and China is huge and it is not easy to reduce.
01:24The study traces a development path for Italy in which raw materials are already a key element for national competitiveness,
01:32contributing to 690 billion euros of industrial production of the country, equal to 32% of the Italian GDP,
01:39which corresponds to the highest impact on the domestic product of the country compared to other countries.
01:44IREN is a candidate to be one of those instruments of the Italian country system that makes the system more resilient.
01:51Think that a third of the Italian GDP depends on raw materials.
01:56What we want in IREN is not only to make the system more independent, but also to create a new unit of business operation.
02:04For us it is a business activity as well as an activity that allows us to increase our environmental profile,
02:10therefore further improving the recovery factor of waste and valuing it in more precious things.
02:16To increase and support the industrial competitiveness of the country in this area, therefore, there are four operational strategies.
02:24Mineral exploration, partnerships with African countries, refinement and treatment, and the use of recovered materials in industrial production.
