Panel Discussion-Supply Chain Diversification: Rare Earths In the Geopolitical Crosshairs
As China imposes export controls on rare earths and other critical materials, and the rest of the world seeks to reduce its dependence on China, new regulations like the EU’s Critical Raw Materials Act (CRMA) and U.S. policy initiatives are reshaping the rare-earth landscape. This session explores how these shifts may influence global supply, strategic autonomy, and future pricing amid rising geopolitical tensions.
- Overview of the export controls on rare earths, permanent magnets and their consequences.
- How the supply chain is responding and coping.
- Key legislative drivers in the EU, U.S., and other regions
- Emerging rare-earth supply projects outside China and their feasibility
- Strategic responses by industry to ensure material security and cost stability
