Critical Metals have always been subject to optimisation for their use.
The stakes are energy! According to the discussion of the February 13, 2014 at the French National Assembly *, which met every major actors in France for strategic metals ( BRGM, Eramet, Solvay/Rhodia, Areva, Saint Gobain, Imerys, PSA, Renault, Total, EADS, Variscan, Alstom, GDF, Arcelor Mittal, Safran, Orange, Thales, Valeo, Derichebourt, Vermont, Volvo, Valmon, Zephir Energie, AIRBUS..) the current world production of Neodymium would build capacity of 233GW, however the use of dysprosium in Direct Drive reduces that ability to 75GW. Given that the EU has a maritime program 133GW (2030) and Germany about 100GW (under discussion), solutions must be found in the use of Dysprosium.
A speech that is recurrent in the past two years. Some high magnetic specificity alloy manufacturer know today how to reduce the use of Dysprosium.
However it is recognized that Dysprosium owns exceptional properties and its use is still indispensable in the field of High Tech. It also offers a significant competitive advantage for those who can secure its supply.
Critical metals have always been subject to the optimization of their use. In the past a catalytic converter contains 25-30 grams of Pt / Pd (Platinum / Palladium); today it has only 4 grams, but these metals are still present due to their functions.
