România redeschide o mină strategică în Gorj. Grafitul, esenţial pentru bateriile mașinilor electrice

Romania is reopening the Baia de Fier graphite mine in Gorj, crucial for electric vehicle batteries. The government approved the resumption of operations at the Catalinu and Ungurelaşu sites, previously marked for closure. This decision supports the 'Battery-Grade Graphite Extraction Project' initiated by SALROM SA, aimed at developing infrastructure for high-purity graphite production. The project is part of the EU's strategic initiatives for securing critical raw materials. The reopening is expected to boost regional development and create jobs, while also advancing the transition to green technologies.
