@article{10272/23360, year = {2022}, month = {4}, url = {https://hdl.handle.net/10272/23360}, abstract = {The EU Renewable Energy Directive with climate and energy goals does not leave room for coal-burning power plants that currently contribute approximately 17 million t of flue gas desulfurization (FGD) gypsum to EU manufacturers that require a total of 57 million t of gypsum per year (EU, 2020). It is also unlikely that natural gypsum production in the EU can be significantly increased in the near-term. Unlike other critical raw materials (CRMs) such as rare earth elements (REEs) that constitute a relatively small volume and can be imported over long-distances, such practice is not economically feasible for this relatively inexpensive (per weight) bulk-commodity used in large quantities. Transport costs for natural gypsum easily surpass the product value, so that imports would measurably increase prices for construction in the EU and affect millions.}, organization = {This work was supported by Austria’s Agency for Education and Internationalization (OeAD) [Grant Numbers: Africa UNINET P006 and P058; CZ 14/2022; HR 09/2022; PL 10/2022], the Max-Buchner- Forschungsstiftung from the DECHEMA Gesellschaft für Chemische Technik und Biotechnologie e.V.
