Tackling rare earth supply risks
…dysprosium and terbium, which are used in these magnets. Today, China accounts for around 60% of global mined production of these elements – and its share of refining for them is above 90%. The country also accounts for almost 95% of permanent magnet production.

7 certainties about energy for this age of uncertainty
…hazards affecting the security of oil and gas supplies are now accompanied by vulnerabilities in other areas – including electricity security and critical minerals.
