The rare earths are essential metals for the energy transition but are also present in our light bulbs and screens. Problem: Europe has very few geological resources and China has the monopoly of refining these metals. On the occasion of collective expertise, the CNRS synthesizes scientific knowledge on the subject and explores solutions to reduce our dependence. - Telephones, wind turbines, cars... the puzzle of rare earths in our everyday obje…
With sobriety, the lever of rare earth recycling is a serious way to limit the risks of supply, but it will require strong and targeted public action, according to a collective scientific expertise of the CNRS.
This Friday, the CNRS publishes a multidisciplinary study in the form of a state-of-the-art survey of rare earth knowledge. Scientists who have analysed more than 4,000 articles as part of their research highlight solutions for greater European sovereignty and responsible use of rare earths.
France – 14/11/2025 – energiesdelamer.eu. Considered essential metals in many fields such as energy, mobility, digital, defence or health, rare earths are the subject of special attention in an international context of supply under stress. Faced with these challenges, the CNRS launched in January 2024, a collective scientific expertise questioning the uses of these metals, according to a circular economy approach. The results of this expertise a…
