The use of REEs in modern technologies has grown because their properties enable serious technical advantages such as performing at reduced energy consumption, greater efficiency, miniaturisation, speed, durability and thermal stability (Balaram, 2019). Some products require a single element of rare earths, while others require a mixture of REEs.
Rare earth minerals, a group of 17 elements found in the Earth's crust, are essential for the production of high-performance magnets, batteries, and other components critical to renewable energy systems. Neodymium and dysprosium, for example, are key in manufacturing powerful permanent magnets used in wind turbines and electric vehicle motors.
The diversification of rare earth supply became crucial to secure global supply chains, and different strategies have been adopted. To further analyse critical raw material-securing strategies, resource-rich countries and resource-poor countries will be treated separately.
Rare earth projects need financial, legal and political support throughout the full process. The public–private cooperation would be profitable for the development of REEs projects, as noted earlier, high risk and uncertainties are characteristics of the REEs market. Thus, private companies need public support to face market uncertainties.
