D3.1_Supply chain mapping_v1.4
Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research)
Abstract
This draft report aims to lay the groundwork to map the supply chains of critical raw materials and establish criteria to identify the leverage points for traceability technology. The document starts by proposing a framework that can be used to map the supply chains of cobalt, lithium, natural graphite, and neodymium by focusing on the cobalt supply chain as an example. Preliminary information is also provided for the other materials. This is then followed by the definition of the criteria to identify the leverage points for traceabilitytechnology. The state of practices of control methods and tracing solutions, along with the identification of the requirements, elicitation, and classification for digital product passports, create the bridge between the identification of the leverage points and the development of digital tracing technology that can be deployed in these strategic points of the supply chains of the materials. The conclusions highlight key aspects of the report.
