Our topic: Circular Rare Earth Supply Chain for Permanent Magnet Generators

When: Friday 5 November, 13:30-14:00

NdFeB Rare Earth Permanent Magnets are the world’s strongest permanent magnets and are a critical component for state-of-the-art technologies enabling Green Transition in Europe, including Wind Power.

With the expected fast growth in Wind Power generation, the European Commission considers Rare Earth to be amongst the most resource critical raw materials. Long-term Rare Earth Magnet demand is forecast to grow, and the future supply of RE magnet and RE elements may be affected by potential supply chain disruption and price uncertainties. Thus, circularity in the rare earth supply chain in Europe has become the need of the hour for the successful growth of Wind Power and the Green Transition of Europe.

In this session, different strategies to enable circular economy in the rare earth supply chain will be presented and analysed. Neo’s recommendation on the topic will be presented to conclude the current industry situation and the long-term outlook.
