EU wind power plan needs 4% dysprosium growth by 2030

摘要

A study by the Institute for Energy and Transport of the Joint Research Centre (JRC) of the European Commission has concluded that five metals - including the rare earth elements (REE) dysprosium and neodymium - are at high risk of botdenecking the EU's deployment of low-carbon energy technologies through its Strategic Energy Technology Plan (SET-Plan). The study, Critical Metals in Strategic Energy Technologies, examined the use of metals in the SET-Plan's six low-carbon energy technologies -nuclear, solar, wind, bioenergy, carbon capture and storage (CCS), and the electricity grid.
