Abstract (D3.S8)
This deliverable is based on the outcome of the "Mining the Future" competition, the winner of which will be announced on 27 September 2022 - following evaluation by an international jury of experts.
The report will summarise the 12 proposals submitted by consortia from academia, industry and spin-off companies, and will provide detailed information on the 4 proposals selected for the final competition round.
An evaluation of the level of readiness of the four solutions proposed by the competition finalists will be presented and the potential uses discussed in the framework of the FCC MATEX (excavated material management concept), depending on the status of applicability, type and quantity of material referenced in the proposal and possible opportunities for the region to benefit from the application of this solution in other projects/areas.
