Does coal have a role to play in the growing global rare earth market?
Report summary
Rare earth elements are important materials used in 21st-century technologies. High-tech applications in the automobile, defence and electronics industries are increasingly dependent on these highly conductive and magnetic minerals. Analysts expect the demand for rare earths to grow by as much as 140% by 2030. Coal and coal waste resources are known to contain rare earth elements. Should their coal and rare earth concentrations be high enough, new markets for coal mining and coal consuming operations could emerge.
