Wider Adoption of Critical Materials is Supply Constrained
The Problem
Lack of secure and reliable long-term supply is
preventing fulfilment of latent market demand and
realization of environmental benefits resulting from
existing applications and from significant new
technologies.
This is due to:
Concentrated sources of supply for Niobium,
Scandium, and separated magnetic rare earth
oxides.
Extremely scarce and limited Scandium supply.
Some supply chains have politically sensitive and
unreliable supply locations, particularly rare earths.
Environmental impacts from many of these sources
are greater than in the U.S.
