Socio-Economic Metabolism PATHways for sustainable metal cYcles
SEMPATHY aims to develop and apply a multi-material, mass balance-consistent, composition-aware, and process simulation-based method called Material Pathway Analysis to provide the basis for modelling, simulating, and optimising sustainable global material cycles for technology metals. SEMPATHY addresses the urgent challenge of global metal cycles not being closed and the environmental impacts of metal production and processing becoming more relevant globally. At the same time, global demand for technology metals rises due to the shift to renewable energy, electromobility, clean energy-intensive industry, digitalisation, and aerospace. The SEMPATHY project promises a revolutionary better…
