Metals-by-Metals Processing Technologies: The Engineering Backbone of Europe’s ReSourceEU Strategy

Europe’s ambition to achieve strategic autonomy in raw materials does not rest on geology alone. It hinges on the continent’s ability to design, scale and industrialise the complex processing technologies that transform mined and recycled feedstock into high-purity, high-value metals. ReSourceEU sets clear quantitative targets for extraction, processing and recycling, but targets themselves do not […]

ReSourceEU and Europe’s Metals Future: How Near-Sourcing to Serbia Could Unlock Strategic Processing Capacity

Europe stands at a critical juncture where policy ambition exceeds industrial capability. Through ReSourceEU, the EU has set measurable objectives: 10% of strategic raw materials must be extracted within the EU, 40% processed inside the bloc, and 25% recycled. While regulations, environmental frameworks, and financing mechanisms exist, Europe lacks the physical industrial capacity to turn

Clarion Engineers pitch: Positioning Serbia as Europe’s high-capacity near-sourcing hub for front-end design under ReSourceEU

Europe’s shift toward industrial sovereignty has reached the point where political ambition meets the limits of engineering reality. The ReSourceEU framework has given the continent clearly defined targets for raw-material extraction, processing and recycling, but the true challenge lies in the translation of these targets into concrete, buildable projects. Extraction alone does not generate strategic

The Serbia–Romania–Bulgaria Industrial Corridor: Europe’s Most Investable Midstream Hub for Processing, Engineering, and R&D

Europe’s industrial transformation is no longer a policy ambition—it is a race to build where execution is feasible. As the EU accelerates its Critical Raw Materials Act (CRMA) and RESourceEU strategy, investors are realizing that traditional Western European industrial centers can no longer deliver the scale of processing, fabrication, and engineering infrastructure required. Energy costs

Serbia Emerges as Europe’s Smart Engineering Hub for Mining Projects

Europe’s mining industry is entering a new era of efficiency, risk management, and cost optimization. A growing trend is the use of “near-source front-end engineering” in Serbia—a strategic Owner’s Engineer (OE) platform that sits between mines, EPCM/EPC contractors, and lenders. This approach combines high-value technical oversight with Balkan cost levels, delivering sophisticated engineering close to

Australia Meets Europe: How Miners, Capital, and Geopolitics Are Shaping the Continent’s Industrial Future

Europe stands at a pivotal moment in industrial history. Decarbonization, electrification, battery expansion, defense modernization, and supply-chain restructuring are transforming the continent’s economic landscape. Yet one uncomfortable truth has emerged: without secure access to critical raw materials, Europe’s ambitions for climate neutrality, technological leadership, and industrial sovereignty are at risk. Decades of underinvestment in mining,

EU Financing & the Critical Raw Materials Act: Unlocking Balkan Capital for Mining, Processing, and Industrial Transformation

Europe is at a critical industrial crossroads. As the continent accelerates its transition to clean energy, electrified transport, renewable grids, advanced manufacturing, and digital infrastructure, demand for critical raw materials (CRM) like copper, lithium, nickel, cobalt, rare earths, magnesium, graphite, aluminum, bauxite, manganese, and industrial minerals is soaring. These materials are essential for EV batteries,

Investors & Lenders Strategy Blueprint for Southeast Europe: Safely Navigating the Balkan–Carpathian Minerals Frontier

Southeast Europe—including Serbia, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Albania, Bulgaria, Romania, and neighboring mineral corridors—is rapidly emerging as a strategic hub for Europe’s energy transition. The region hosts globally significant copper–gold porphyries, polymetallic belts, chromite and nickel laterites, lithium basins, rare-earth anomalies, and extensive industrial-mineral deposits. Yet investment has lagged behind its potential. The
