CRS Engineering, participates in the I4-GREEN | Interregional investment for the sustainable supply of raw materials in the EU Green Energy Transition (2023)
November 1, 2023
The I4-GREEN project, funded by the European Union, offers financial support and services to up to 15 small and medium-sized companies (SMEs) that are implementing new products, processes and/or technical services in the pilot program: Iron Holm Oak (PILOT 1), located in Extremadura.
CRS Engineering was selected for the IHO pilot program in Extremadura, Spain, and the project it has developed is titled Interregional investment for the sustainable supply of raw materials in the EU Green Energy Transition, and the duration has been from 11/01/2023 to 04/30/2024.
The project consisted of creating a geological model of the site, and based on the available information, a block model of the site was built. Once the results from the geotechnical laboratory were obtained, the properties of the intact rock were determined. In parallel, an estimate of the best applicable exploitation method was carried out, concluding that open pit exploitation is the most appropriate.
