About this episode
Emanuel Proença discusses the Barroso Lithium Project and its implications amidst environmental opposition and EU strategic goals.
The Barroso Lithium Project has been designated a Strategic Project by the EU under the Critical Raw Materials Act. At the same time, it is facing strong opposition from environmental groups and local residents who are determined to stop it. To discuss the project against the backdrop of Europe’s push for greater strategic autonomy, I’m joined by Emanuel Proença, CEO of Savannah Resources, the project’s developer.
