Five Steps for Solving the Rare-Earth Metals Shortage
The rare-earth industry can be divided into three stages: upstream, or the mining of elements; midstream, the processing of elements into separate oxides; and downstream, the manufacturing of permanent magnets and other components made with rare earths. Making rare earths globally available starts in the upstream stage. To avoid a shortage of rare earths by

What are rare earths and why are they important?
The rare earths are of a group of 17 chemical elements, several of which are critical for the energy transition. Neodymium, praseodymium, dysprosium and terbium are key to the production of the permanent magnets used in electric vehicles (EVs) and wind turbines. Neodymium is the most important in volume terms.
What is the demand for rare earth permanent magnets?
Magnets accounted for 34% of the demand for REEs in 2019, according to IHS Markit. Roskill (2021) reports that rare earth permanent magnets, the largest single end use, accounted for 29% of total demand in 2020. By 2030, magnets are predicted to constitute approximately 40% of total demand.
What are rare earth elements?
Rare earth elements, a collective name for 17 metallic elements of scandium, yttrium, and lanthanides of Group IIIB in the chemical periodic table with unique properties. Exploring the application of rare earth elements in the field of advanced energy storage devices is greatly interesting owing to their special properties.
Why is the rare earth market so volatile?
The rare earth market is also subject to speculative trading, further contributing to its volatility. Supply of REEs is heavily dominated by China, accounting for a significant portion of both global production and processing capacity (Jowitt, 2022).
Why are Ree batteries so popular?
For both demand types, there is a link with energy. The consumption of REEs in the battery industry is due solely to the application of REEs in nickel-metal hybrid batteries (NiMH), which contain between 18 and 28 wt% lanthanum depending on their anode chemistry. This battery type is not projected to grow significantly in coming years.
Why do we need new rare earth mines & processing facilities?
The establishment of new rare earth mines and processing facilities represents a pivotal development within the global rare earth industry.
