United States energy power supply of key materials such as rare-earth

Recently, the United States Energy Department (DOE) announced that it would invest $ 3 million funding for research and development for the development of low-temperature geothermal resources as well as support key materials (such as lithium carbonate and rare earth) of domestic supply. Through cooperation with geothermal and mineral sector, DOE plans to expand geographical diversity of clean, renewable geothermal energy, but is not limited to the traditional Western region.

According to reports, the past 10 years, lithium-ion batteries were made use of surge expected by 2017, used in the manufacture of lithium-ion batteries lithium carbonate, global demand will exceed 250,000 tons, compared with 60%. As demand continues to grow, ensuring reliable supplies of key materials in advanced manufacturing is going to be a growing challenge. DOE tried to pass clean mining technology, promote a cost-competitive production of geothermal energy. DOE-funded 10 feasibility studies and applied research and development projects.
