\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe \u201cRaw Materials and Extraction\u201d work line focuses on the identification, comparison, and validation of sustainable methods for recovering critical raw materials from brines and geological fluids found in Germany and Chile.\n\n \n\nThis work line seeks to evaluate advanced direct element extraction technologies, particularly for lithium, considering not only their technical efficiency but also their environmental, energy-related, and hydrogeological impacts. To achieve this, experimental research, laboratory testing, and comparative analyses will be conducted across different types of reservoirs and brine compositions, enabling the identification of the opportunities and limitations of each technology according to the specific conditions of each territory.\n\n \n\nThe overall objective is to advance toward extraction solutions that are more sustainable, efficient, and compatible with the environmental challenges associated with the energy transition and the responsible use of natural resources.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
