Titled “Rare earths – China puts German industry in a tight spot”, REEsilience project coordinator Prof. Dr. Carlo Burkhardt participated in an interview on September 10 2025 with ARD, a Broadcast radio in Germany, on the criticality of rare earths and the associated dependence on China.
Despite a growing market, European magnet production capacity is underutilised and tends to serve specialised niche applications. REEsilince aims to create new market opportunities for critical raw materials sustainably produced in Europe by developing digitised, resource-efficient and resilient Rare Earth supply chains to produce strong Permanent Magnets needed by the e-mobility, renewable energy and other strategic sectors.
