REIA 2022 ANNUAL CONFERENCE
DATE : October 05 - 06, 2022
LOCATION : Congress Park Hanau Germany
Rare Earths are critical materials for vehicle electrification and wind turbines. Electric vehicles will only unleash their full environmental benefit when the electricity mix evolves towards a higher renewables content. For that, wind-power turbines also rely on rare earths’ magnets for highest efficiency and low-maintenance cost.
Despite their unmatched technological benefits, rare earths are considered scarce, their extraction is expensive, prone to price volatility and their supply chain concentrated in a single country. However, these perceptions do not entirely correspond to how the rare earths industry has evolved since the very mediatic “Rare Earths Crisis” of 2010.
This ‘Rare Earths for a sustainable world’ conference will bring together key decision makers in the technologies of vehicle electrification and wind energy, rare earths producers, magnet makers and more to review the current supply situation and identify improvements to better satisfy the requirements of the industrial downstream customers for a better technology adoption.
