The demand for **rare earth elements** is expected to soar in the coming years due to several critical factors:1. **Automotive and Computer Production**: As automotive and computer manufacturing ramps up, the need for rare earth minerals will skyrocket by **2030**¹. These minerals play a crucial role in various components, including electric vehicles (EVs) and electronic devices.2. **Energy Transition**: The ongoing global shift toward cleaner energy sources necessitates minerals like **lithium**, **graphite**, and rare earth elements. These are essential for EV batteries, wind turbines, and solar panels. In fact, the demand for these minerals could increase by as much as **4,000 percent**²³.3. **Australia's Role**: Australia holds the third-largest rare earth oxide resource globally, with **3.19 million tonnes**¹. While China dominates the rare earth market, Australia aims to strengthen its position. Projects like **Arafura Resources' Nolans rare earth project** in the Northern Territory are progressing, and the country seeks to become more self-sufficient in rare earth production.4. **Downstream Processing**: Australia is moving away from simply extracting and exporting raw materials. The focus is shifting toward **downstream processing**, where minerals are processed within the country. Arafura hopes to capitalize on the growing demand by starting production at the Nolans project in late **2024**¹.5. **Lynas Rare Earths**: Lynas operates the **Mt Weld mine** in Western Australia, which is one of the highest-grade rare earth deposits globally. They are also proposing a rare earth processing facility to support their operations¹.In summary, rare earth elements are vital for our transition to a sustainable future, especially as we embrace cleaner energy technologies and advanced manufacturing processes⁴⁵. .Source: Conversation with Bing, 19/2/2024(1) The future of rare earths in Australia. https://www.australianresourcesandinvestment.com.au/2021/12/21/the-future-of-rare-earths-in-australia/.(2) The Energy Transition Will Need More Rare Earth Elements.
