ROCK TECH AWARDED STRATEGIC PROJECT STATUS BY EUROPEAN COMMISSION
Rock Tech Lithium (RCKTF) announces its Guben Converter Project in Germany has been designated as a Strategic Project under the EU Critical Raw Materials Act (CRMA). The converter will produce 24,000 tonnes of battery-grade lithium hydroxide annually, sufficient to power over 500,000 electric vehicles.
Selected from over 170 applications, the project will benefit from the European Commission's initial €2 billion support package through loans, financing, and guarantees. The CRMA, implemented in May 2024, aims to secure sustainable supply of 17 critical raw materials essential for Europe's energy transition, while reducing dependence on third-country imports.
