Our colleague Dr. Matthias Buchert talked at the conference “Wind Turbine Supply Chain & Logistics” in August about the interlinkage between wind energy growth and rare earths demand. You can download the highly interesting facts and scenarios of future resource requirements in the presentation “Rare Earths - a Bottleneck for future Wind Turbine Technologies?” here: http://www.resourcefever.org/publications/presentations/Wind%20Supply%20Chain%202011%20-%20Buchert_final.pdf
Further presentation “Application of rare earths in consumer electronics and challenges for recycling” was held by our colleague Ran Liu on the International Conference on Consumer Electronics in September which focused on rare earths relevance for consumer applications.
