Source:One of the urgent challenges of transitioning to a climate-neutral energy economy will be achieving a sustainable supply of the rare earth elements. These 17 elements are used in relatively small quantities in consumer electronics and defense applications. But they will be needed in much larger amounts for wind turbines and electric vehicles.The 'rare earth' label is a peculiar artifact of 18th-century geology, when mineral forms of these elements were first discovered. Today we know accessible deposits of these elements can be found in many places around the world. Yet the mist...

Source:Last year, humans emitted approximately 37 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere – a disastrous and unsustainable figure. To avoid the worst effects of climate change we could capture some of that carbon as it is released by power plants and store it permanently below ground. Better still, some of that waste carbon dioxide could be converted into useful chemicals or fuel.These processes are known respectively as 'carbon capture and storage' and 'carbon dioxide utilisation', andboth require large amounts of raw materials. As an example, carbon capture can i...

Source:create digitalAs with many other natural resources, Australia is lucky with scandium. A collection of companies is developing mines in the country, including the world’s first scandium-only mine, owned by Scandium International, at Nyngan, New South Wales. They all hope to do what nobody else is doing: ensure a stable, reliable and affordable supply of the rare earth element.Asked why it interests him as a chemical engineer, John Carr, Executive General Manager Sales and Marketing at Clean TeQ, said, “Many people think that scandium is a fictional element, but it’s on the periodic table...
