Reports released on critical materials supply chain

The Circular Critical Materials Supply Chains (CLIMATES) Programme contains a series of reports across five key themes.

Specifically focussing on rare earth elements (REEs) and permanent magnets, the CLIMATES programme aims to support the UK Critical Minerals Strategy.

Each report released by Innovate UK dives into the latest UK and global technological innovations, mapping UK capabilities, identifying innovation gaps and strategic interventions.

A deep dive into the REE supply chain is reflected in each report, covering:

• Exploration, Extraction, Beneficiation & Concentration
• Processing
• Permanent Magnet Manufacturing
• Circular Economy
• Permanent Magnet Alternatives

An executive summary and all reports are available on the InnovateUK website.
