Korea has announced the Rare Metals Supply Plan 2.0, targeting the secure supply of 35 types of rare metals essential for major industries such as batteries, wind and solar power generation. The plan has three main objectives:

Ensure security of supply for at least 100 days through acquisitions, stockpiles and recycling (currently at an average of 56.8 days). Acquisition: Strengthen international cooperation and support domestic private companies to expand overseas business for resources.

Stockpile: Increase and update stockpiles and reserve systems to be prepared for potential supply crises.

Recycle: Promote waste recycling and R&D systems to increase domestic self-sufficiency.

Nurture 100 enterprises in the rare metal sector and provide development support packages. Enterprise support: Provide comprehensive support at all stages including assistance for financing, restructuring as well as regulatory support.

R&D: Encourage breakthrough technology development focused on domestic sufficiency, environmental friendliness, and value addition.

Build a robust and resilient rare metal ecosystem. Infrastructure: Enhance supply monitoring systems and material databases.

Legal and institutional: promote legislation and standards for rare metals, support to the industry, and international collaboration on standards.

Governance: Establish cooperative systems among private and public sectors for a strong industrial ecosystem.

The strategy aims to lay the foundation for new industries like electric vehicles and new energy sources, ensure stable  supply for the production of semiconductors and other technologies, and strengthen Korea's industrial competitiveness to support net zero by 2050.

Oil Industry Braces for Years-Long Iran War

Oil producers, traders, and refiners are bracing for a prolonged war between the United States and Iran in the Persian Gulf with little to no hope of a quick resolution. By extension, they are also preparing for higher prices for longer, a theme present at this year’s edition of the Asia Pacific Petroleum Conference. Reuters’ Clyde Russell reported this week that the mood at APPEC was not particularly cheerful as hostilities in the Middle East escalate once again, suggesting achieving peace would be quite a challenge. The Reuters columnist…

Stolen Electricity is Powering Illegal Crypto Farms Across the Globe

Electricity theft is a global problem, and it’s getting more dire all the time. While the problem is most common in developing countries, where grid infrastructure is limited and utilities and state authorities have lower oversight capacities, developed countries are not immune either. This theft can occur in many forms and at many scales, from individuals tapping into power lines to power their individual residences to large-scale and sophisticated theft schemes to power entire cryptocurrency mining farms. Just this week, Mexican authorities…

Iran’s Security Crackdown Runs Into Resistance From Within

Iran's parliament is trying to turn fears of foreign infiltration into law. But as lawmakers work through the legislation, the debate is exposing an increasingly awkward question for the Islamic Republic: How far should the state go in policing Iranians' contact with the outside world? At the center of that debate is Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, who, at least publicly, is doing a balancing act. He has defended the need for tougher measures against foreign infiltration while warning that the current draft of the legislation goes too…

Why More Homes Are Switching From Gas to Heat Pumps

Heat pumps are becoming an increasingly popular alternative to gas-powered central heating systems and are increasingly being used in new construction, often driven by government incentives. A heat pump uses technology similar to that found in a refrigerator or an air conditioner, extracting heat from a source, such as the surrounding air, and amplifying and transferring the heat to where it is needed. As most of the heat is transferred rather than generated, heat pumps are far more efficient than conventional heating technologies such as boilers…
