WASHINGTON, D.C. — The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) today awarded $19 million for 13 projects in traditionally fossil fuel-producing communities across the country to support production of rare earth elements and critical minerals vital to the manufacturing of batteries, magnets, and other components important to the clean …
Central to this issue is an American paucity of rare earth minerals indispensable in producing these bombs, shells, and rockets. To address this shortage and ensure the long-term viability of ammo for high-end conflict, the U.S. must invest in and maintain innovative systems for processing and refinement of rare earth minerals.
The Department of Defense (DOD) has announced an investment in the expansion of the largest rare earth element mining and processing company outside of …
Sloustcher said the heavy rare earths will be refined in a different building, adding that the project is just getting started. To fully domesticate the magnet supply chain, MP Materials also began construction on the United States' first rare earth magnetics factory in April 2022. Located in Fort Worth, Texas, the facility will be able to ...

The increasing demand of NdFeB magnets will lead to Gd shortage in 2030. ... As one of the heavy rare earth elements (REEs), Gd is less abundant in the Earth's crust (approximately 6.2 mg/kg) (Greenwood and Earnshaw, 1997) and has a lower content in many rare earth ores (about 0.05 % in Bastnaesite) (Duraiswami and Shaikh, 2014).
Now rare earth elements with exotic names such as europium and tantalum hold the key to hybrid cars, wind turbines and crystal-clear TV displays — that is, if a looming supply shortage doesn't ...
The rare earth materials required. Rare earth elements are names right off the high school chemistry chart - atomic numbers 57 through 71 (the lanthanides), plus scandium and yttrium.
Experts warn that the ongoing microchip shortage, which severely cut dealer inventories, could worsen and intersect with a disruption in rare earth metal supplies needed for the growing electric ...
U.S. are now considering opening or reopening rare earth mines. Opening new mines will help to ease the rare earth shortage problem, but it will require significant investment, especially to prevent the important environmental impacts of extraction and production, and it can take years before new sources produce sizeable yields (US DoE 2010).
In February 2021, Executive Order 14017 directed the secretaries of Commerce, Energy, and Defense to submit reports within 100 days identifying risks in the supply chain for critical minerals and other identified strategic materials including rare earth elements, as determined by the Secretary of Defense, and policy recommendations to …
