The successful social media campaign #CHPM4EU ended this month. The aim of the campaign was to inform general public and stakeholders about the disruptive technology the project plans to develop: a technology combining metal extraction and renewable energy generation. This would face two of the main challenges Europe is facing: the supply of raw materials and energy.
Each week a social media card addressing the different aspects of the project was published through Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn.
CHPM2030 is a H2020 project funded by the European Commission that started on 1 January 2016. Working at the frontiers of geothermal resources development, minerals extraction and electro-metallurgy the project aims at converting ultra-deep metallic mineral formations into an “orebody-Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS)” that will serve as a basis for the development of a new type of facility for “Combined Heat, Power and Metal extraction” (CHPM).
