Completed Projects with Real Impact on Sustainable Mining
The Iberian Sustainable Mining Cluster (ISMC) is proud to announce the completion of several regional and European projects between 2024 and 2025. These initiatives have delivered concrete results towards a greener, digital, and more resilient mining sector.
Led or co-developed by ISMC, these projects reflect the cluster’s commitment to innovation-driven transformation in the raw materials and mining industries.
Key completed projects:
🔹 GEOMAT (Regional – Junta de Castilla y León)
Conversion of mining waste into eco-friendly materials through the development of geopolymers as a sustainable alternative to traditional cement.
🔹 ECHO (EIT RawMaterials)
Promotion of electrification in mining machinery with the development of an electric hammer and programmable technology.
🔹 ExpSkills-REM (EIT RawMaterials)
Training of European professionals in permanent magnets, recycling, and electromobility, strengthening the talent base for green industries.
🔹 i4-GREEN (Horizon Europe)
Development of an interregional ecosystem to accelerate green technologies and reduce the EU’s dependency on critical raw materials.
With the support of our partners and a strong European network, ISMC continues to demonstrate that innovation is key to building a circular, competitive and climate-aligned mining industry.
