critical minerals as a strategic vulnerability in 2017 when it signedan executive orderto assess and strengthen domestic supply chain resiliency. The order called for “a comprehensive evaluation of the defense and industrial base supply chains” and it produced a list of 35 critical inputs that ...
The US Department of Energy (DOE) has released its 2023 Critical Materials Assessment, which evaluated materials for their criticality to global clean energy technology supply chains and has hence determined the 2023 DOE Critical Materials List of energy-specific critical and near-critical materials thr...

Major countries such as the US, Canada, Australia and European nations have created a list of critical minerals that are either essential to energy transition or deemed important to the domestic economy and whose supply is seen as high risk. They are also developing road maps to enable the res...
In 2018, the US Government’s Critical Minerals List was published. It includes flake graphite as one of the “Listed Minerals”. North America produces just 4% of the world’s graphite supply, from mines in Canada and Mexico. No US natural graphite production was reported to the U...
Each project has the goal of developing commercially scalable technology that will enhance domestic supplies of critical minerals on a list managed by the United States Geological Survey and established by the Energy Act of 2020. Domestic production of critical minerals is vital to meeting new electri...
Critical minerals are those on the US critical minerals list, which was updated in February to include nickel and zinc. The remaining $3,750 of the tax credit is achieved if percentage thresholds for the EV battery components are met. Those thresholds require that 50% of the battery’s com...
This week, China banned exports of several critical minerals to the US, marking the latest move in an escalating series of tit-for-tat trade restrictions between the world’s two largest economies. In explicitly cutting off, rather than merely restricting, materials of strategic importance to t...
The U.S Government’s Draft Critical Minerals List report on graphite stated that“China is by far the largest producer of natural graphite, accounting for roughly two-thirds of world production. Only 4 percent of the world’s natural graphite comes from North America, with no U.S. production...
The list includes 31 minerals. The goal of the program is to stimulate growth in the critical minerals space. Canada aims to boost the domestic value chain, from exploration to production and recycling, and become a supplier of critical minerals to the United States and other allies. (The...
