Not long ago, the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission issued a report entitled " EU energy sector low carbon economy key metal" research report on low-carbon energy technologies in the manufacture of raw material supply problems to carry out the survey. The study found that there are eight kinds of metal at high risk of a shortage of state . These risks from the EU dependence on imports , the growing worldwide demand for geopolitical reasons.
The study was based on the 2011 Strategic Energy Technology Plan (SET-Plan) for the six critical applications - wind, solar, nuclear fission , biomass, carbon capture and sequestration , the grid - made a term research. The new report has been re- evaluated and include the other 11 kinds of technology , but also to carry out an assessment of the expected supply , and a report on the assessment of the status quo . SET plans to launch in 2008 , the goal is to promote the cost-effective development and promotion of low-carbon technologies .
In these eight have been identified as "critical" raw materials , there are six kinds of rare earth metals ( dysprosium , europium, terbium , yttrium, praseodymium, neodymium ) , the other two as gallium and tellurium. Three metal ( rhenium , indium , platinum ) , and graphite has a high risk , which indicates the price of these metals need to be monitored to prevent the deterioration of the situation caused by the supply chain bottlenecks risk.
Dysprosium is considered at the highest risk. Expected between 2020 to 2030 , the EU 's demand for dysprosium 25 percent of global supply, in order to meet their application in hybrid and electric cars , wind turbines and the like.
Other important materials and related key applications include : lithium, graphite, neodymium , praseodymium , cobalt ( for hybrid and electric cars ) ; tellurium , indium, tin , gallium ( for solar ) ; platinum ( fuel cell ) ; indium, terbium , europium, gallium ( for lighting ) ; neodymium , praseodymium ( for wind energy ) ; indium ( for nuclear energy ) .
It is estimated that the demand for lithium EU accounts for about 15 percent of global supply, accounting for about 10% of graphite .
In the first report , presented to alleviate the risk of critical metals supply chain initiatives , divided into three categories : improving primary supply , reuse / recycle , instead.
The report studied include metal elements , metal ores , non-metallic , including a total of 60 kinds of metal , not covered by iron, aluminum and radioactive elements ( used for nuclear power plant fuel ) . And considering the graphite , is because the EU as one of the raw materials are plans to key raw materials .

Malaysian environmental groups asked the company to close its plant in North Carolina Kuantan , and on Friday returned the message the company is headquartered in Sydney, Australia .
Environmental organizations known as the " green event " program at this year's annual meeting to protest . Another environmental group , held a similar "Save Malaysia, Stop Reiner " in last year's protests , NC company's annual general meeting.
The organization says will produce radioactive waste at the processing plant for rare earths , and the need to store the waste , which would pose a threat to human health and the environment . 2012, rare earth materials from the NC mountains located in Weld mine in Australia transported to the factory in Malaysia .
According to internal reports in Malaysia , these opponents have been helping a German environmental research institute of chemical studio , they recently claimed that the limited storage capacity of the plant waste and seepage system is poor.
According to the " Malaysian Insider" reported that President Green Gathering has 1.2 million Malaysians , said the petition signed request to close the plant .
NC Company currently holds two operating license for the plant , one of the conditions permit is to ensure the safe handling of rare earths waste. Rainer said that most waste recycling rare earth plant has produced compressed into aggregates sold to other industries.
