[vc_row][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text css_animation=”top-to-bottom” css=””]The CTP\u2019s expertise is more than ever at the heart of a European strategy for resilience and smart reindustrialisation<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Centre is stepping up its international collaborations in 2024 (42% of total sales) on promising topics such as the circularity of mineral materials and the extraction and recovery of strategic metals from natural deposits (mining projects).<\/p>\n

The CTP is currently organised into 3 areas of expertise: Mineral Processing, Extractive Metallurgy and Circular Materials.<\/p>\n

These 3 divisions will see significant growth in 2024, with total sales of \u20ac5.43 million.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Admittedly, this sales figure is lower than in 2023, but this is due to a drop in ‘pilot’ activity (TRL5) with our Australian customer concerning the production of high-purity graphite for applications in electric car batteries. The fact is that this manufacturer is gradually validating its process and is therefore gradually moving out of this ‘pilot’ phase, which is a positive development in itself!<\/p>\n

The new organisation of the CTP is already proving its worth, as the cash flow<\/strong> generated in 2024 reached a record level of \u20ac593,000<\/strong>. A reflection of an agile and efficient organisation – well done to our teams!<\/p>\n

Public funding <\/strong>(subsidies) increased by 25<\/strong>% in 2024. This is mainly due to the launch of 2 new collaborative projects:<\/p>\n
