Aim is to reverse massive migration of processing to the Asian giant that took place around 25 years agoUnder a new EU law that entered into force in May, the bloc has set ambitious 2030 targets for domestic production required for its green transition LONDON – Four decades ago, a rare earth processing plant on France's Atlantic coast was one of the largest in the world, churning out materials used to make colour televisions, arc lights and camera lenses.
Moreover, Solvay's modest output is focused on the kind of processed rare earths used for auto catalysts and electronics, not the kind needed for permanent magnets used in electric vehicles and wind energy. Solvay says it will start producing those by next year. Under a new European Unon law that entered into force in May, the bloc has set ambitious 2030 targets for domestic production of critical minerals required for its green transition – 10pc of annual needs mined, 25pc recycled and 40pc processed domestically by the end of the decade.
"Projects in Europe will benefit from a streamlined permitting process, as well as coordinated support for accessing de-risking financing tools and matchmaking with downstream users," Bernsel said.There are three main steps in the rare earth supply chain before permanent magnets can be produced –mining, separating elements and producing metals/alloys .
Failing to include magnets in the CRMA targets is a "blind spot" and sets up the law to generate "false-positive" results, he added. An executive of the project's owner, Leading Edge Materials said a new application for a mining lease is underway for a redesigned project, but offered no timeline for starting production.The company plans to apply for the project to be declared strategic under the CRMA, which in theory would make possible fast-track permitting in 27 months.
EU companies are also gearing up to take advantage of the huge potential for recycling to supply critical rare earths, but it will take time before there is enough supply of old EVs and wind turbines to process.Other industry executives echoed Solvay's uncertainty about ramping up output by 2030, with several telling Reuters they could not commit to launching or raising production by then.
