This report aims at supporting related decision-making by highlighting selected aspects around raw material supply and deep-sea mining. It does not have the ambition to provide a holistic assessment of all environmental, economic, social and technical aspects, but rather focuses on topics and perspectives that have so far been underrepresented in the debate around deep-sea mining.

SUMEX is a 36-month project funded by the EC that started on 01.11.2020. The project supports the set-up of a European sustainability framework to improve the permitting procedure along the extractive value chain (prospecting, exploration, extraction, processing, closure, post-closure activities), to guarantee timely decisions, a transparent governmental regulatory regime, appealing financial and administrative conditions and sustainable natural environmental and social conditions. The main mission of SUMEX is to assist policymakers and other stakeholders in seizing this opportunity.

Switzerland has a particularly strong relationship with gold: Not only is 50 % – 70 % of the world’s gold refined in Switzerland, but Swiss banks also play a crucial role in marketing bullion. Switzerland is also a primary hub for upmarket jewellery and watchmaking. Despite their reliance on this precious metal, the awareness of watchmakers, jewellers and end consumers of the risks involved with the gold supply chain is, however, still very low. Many of the largest manufacturers of Swiss watches continue to turn a blind eye and refuse to even acknowledge the challenges. This report addresses the problems head on and serves to raise awareness amongst producers and consumers alike.

This paper presents an overview of policy frameworks for district heating (DH) in Europe. We develop a classification for policy aspects addressing DH, comprising regulation of ownership, prices, metering, consumer grid connection, third party access as well as support schemes and carbon taxes. This classification builds on existing literature and expert assessments collected in an online survey and interviews. The relevance of the paper lies in giving a comprehensive picture of the existing policy frameworks for DH in 23 European countries. For the overview, the countries are clustered along assigned categories. It is shown that the policy frameworks for DH can be clustered into five distinguishable groups. While some countries apply very strict regulations in special DH laws, others rely on less regulatory intervention, both with varying degrees of support for DH in place. The different policy frameworks are discussed in the context of the diffusion of DH and the integration of renewable and waste heat in DH. This analysis shows that high shares of DH and high shares of renewable and waste heat in DH can be observed in countries with a high degree of regulation as well as in countries with less regulatory intervention in DH markets.
