✨ Day 2 of our 2024 REIA Annual Conference was filled with insightful discussions. From captivating keynote speeches to engaging panel discussions, we covered various topics. - Philippe Kehren, Solvay CEO, presented the company's involvement in the rare-earth sector, reflecting the evolution of progress and setting the stage for future approaches. He refelcted on the current market trends and mentioned that Solvay is open for colloboartion with potential partners to meet the market needs. - Thomas Kruemmer, Tim Harrison, Ramon Barua Costa, khan liu, Brett Hazelden and Darrin Campbell delved into the topic of heavy rare-earths and the challenges they face. The panel had a divergent view on the future demand of heavy rare earths and agreed that completely relying on the automotive sector as the main consumer would be a bit risky. Other sectors and new inventions could emerge as new demand drivers as well. - Amanda Lacaze, Lynas Rare Earths Ltd CEO, shared her expertise on navigating the future in the industry and provided guidance related to industry trends and future developments. - Gareth Hatch, Sean Medin, James Quinn, Francisco Morrone and David O'Brock discussed about new technologies for rare-earth separation. The discussion touched upon the commercial viability, scalability and other aspects of new technologies. - Caroline Messecar, Ahmad Ghahreman, William Dawes, Felipe Guerrero and Leonard Ansorge discussed the challenges of recycling rare earths. Rare-earths recycling faces several hurdles and finding waste could be the biggest one. - Daan de Jonge, Product Director at Benchmark Mineral Intelligence, delved into electric vehicles outlook. - Ronan Murphy, Editor at Argus Media, provided an update on the rare-earths supply chain. - Frédéric Carencotte, CARESTER Founder, talked about the CAREMAG project, focused on magnet recycling and extraction of heavy rare earths.

📢 CARESTER is proud to join the #REIA Annual Conference in Tokyo June 19 - 20. Frédéric Carencotte will be speaking about our #CAREMAG project to produce rare earth oxides for permanent magnets in the South-West of France. We will highlight our innovative unit processing a mixed of recycling ♻ and mining sources⛏. #REIA #CARESTER #CAREMAG #rareearth #recycling #permanentmagnets

Today, Frédéric Carencotte was in Brussels in the #RawMaterialsSummit organized by #EITRawMaterials to discuss the Benchmarks in the Critical Raw Material Act related to recycling – EU’s recycling capacity to cover at least 25% of the EU’s strategic raw materials consumption. ♻ Thank you for the opportunity to highlight our #CAREMAG project and the importance to develop an industrial recycling unit for NdFeB magnets to support the #energytransition and secure EU supply chain in #rareearths with high technologies ⚗, innovative solutions 💡, and low environmental impact 🌱. #rawmaterialssummit #CARESTER #CAREMAG #permanentmagnet #rareearthrecycling #ndfebmagnetrecycling #energytransition #rareearths

Our panellists on “A Review of Recycling Strategies to Achieve the CRMA’s 25% Minimum Target” unanimously agreed that the CRMA target, for many materials, is unreachable by 2030.   However, having this benchmark in place serves as a catalyst for driving change and provides valuable guidelines.   “Yes, it’s ambitious, but the most important thing is that it drives us collectively to achieve it,” said Frédéric Carencotte of CARESTER.   Despite the challenges, we must still push forward, and the key steps we need to take are:  ▪️ Fostering innovation to develop commercially viable solutions for the industry ▪️ Planning for the future by designing products for ease of recyclability ▪️ “Addressing regulations that hinder the movement of recycling materials within Europe”, Linn Andersson, Boliden. ▪️ “Defining and optimising recycling technology from both cost and ESG perspectives” Jan-Philipp Mai, JPM Silicon. ▪️ “Adopting a mindset shift: stop seeing waste as a problem and start recognising its potential value”, Ulf Arnesson, Stena Recycling AB.

REIA Weekly Newsletter https://lnkd.in/eAwmwsxa We have a few takeaways from the REIA - The Global Rare Earth Industry Association-REEsilience #Conference in #Brussels last week. Tens of millions of euros have been spent on critical-raw-materials (CRM) #research and #innovation projects including rare-earth elements (REEs), in the past two decades or so. A research base has been established with these funds but #commercial viability of the results is yet to be seen. #Europe substantially lags behind in #investment in the #CRM sector compared to peers such as the #USA or #Japan. Many of the targets in the Critical Raw Materials Act will be difficult to #achieve within the 2030 time frame. The opening a REE #mine in Europe within this time frame is a low #probability. The projects at the Fen Complex in Norway by REIA members Rare Earths Norway AS and Ree Minerals AS, and at Sokli by REIA member Finnish Minerals Group - Suomen Malmijalostus Oy could be operational, if put on a fast #permitting and a #sustainable #finance #track. Given projected #demand for #REEs, #recycling is not a replacement for primary #production, but can complement the primary value chain. The #business case for recycling is challenging compared to the current #market price for primary materials. There are bottlenecks in getting enough feedstock as most #endoflife (EoL) #product ends up in non-European countries. A possible European ban on the #export of EoL product is not feasible, in light of #freemarket principles and #WTO norms, and it is not on the agenda of the European Commission. Permanent-magnet-based #electricmotors will continue to be the leading #technology for #drive trains and leading experts in the field see no alternative technology or replacement of REE magnets without compromising on the #energydensity and #efficiency. These debates will continue. Join us in Brussels for the EIT RawMaterials annual flagship event #RawMaterialsSummit, scheduled for 14-16 May 2024. The Raw Materials Summit is a call-to-action – a platform – for industry leaders, educators and innovative new talent to share their vision. There are a couple of sessions where REEs will be discussed, and representatives of REIA members CARESTER and Neo Performance Materials will be joining as keynote #speakers and #panellists. In this week’s lead article, Anthony Ku et al identify priority research topics with the potential to improve our capacity to anticipate and respond to CRM #supplyrisks. They argue that this evolution can amplify the challenges faced by supply-chain #operators, #investors, #policymakers, and technology #developers. Other stories include updates from REIA members Aclara Resources, Ionic Rare Earths Limited and Mkango Resources Ltd. REE market updates, e-mobility and geopolitical news. #sustainabledevelopment #rareearths #climatechange #circulareconomy Neda Bahremandi Vasileios Tsianos Lee Constable Barry Murphy Ramon Barua Abbas Meerani Rahim Suleman Alessandra Hool
