HomeThe role of rare earth elements in wind energy and electric mobility
An analysis of future supply/demand balances
Metaúdaje publikácie
As the focus on climate change increases, several countries are implementing green strategies and rapidly switching to clean energy technologies. This is leading to an increase in demand for materials used to manufacture key components of such technologies, and the European Commission has already identified several of these components as critical raw materials, which raises concerns about the security of supply. Examples of critical raw materials are the rare earth elements, which are needed for the manufacturing of permanent magnets for wind turbine generators and electric vehicle motors, as well as for several applications in other fields. These elements are currently supplied mainly from China, and with demand increasing at a rapid pace there are fears of supply bottlenecks amid geopolitical tensions. On the other hand, following the rare earth crisis of the early 2010s, increased efforts have been made in terms of geological exploration and the development of alternative technologies, which may mitigate supply risks. This report aims to provide information, data and forecasts that can guide the discussion and put it into context.
