„The European Commission will announce the launch of a new industry alliance this week, with a view to building a complete EU supply chain for raw materials like lithium, which are seen as critical for the bloc’s digital and green transitions.The new industry alliance will be announced on Thursday (3 September) and officially launched later this month as part of an “action plan” designed to secure Europe’s access to critical raw materials, EU sources said.The new industry-led group will be modelled on the European Battery Alliance, which brought together more than 200 companies, governments and research organisations around the manufacturing of batteries for the auto industry.„
