Innovate UK releases reports on critical materials supply chain
Specifically focusing on rare-earth elements (REEs) and permanent magnets.
The Circular Critical Materials Supply Chains (CLIMATES) Programme contains a series of reports across five key themes.
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 and concentration
- Processing
- Permanent magnet manufacturing
- Circular economy
- Permanent magnet alternatives
An executive summary and all reports are available on the InnovateUK website.
