The Ministry of Science and Technology of the People's Republic of China announced the National Science and Technology Major Project on Strategic Mineral Resources Development and Utilisation in 2021. The policy was developed under the framework of the 14th Five Year Plan. It is designed as a strategic framework to guide research and development on:

Identification of the amount of reserves of major strategic minerals

Exploitation and increase in reserves of scarce strategic mineral resources

Promotion of efficient mining technologies and equipment

The budget of the research project is 1 billion CNY (approximately 143M USD). The project provides funding for researchers conducting research in the following fields:

Development of metallogenic mechanism theories of strategic minerals

Strategic mineral exploration and mining technology and equipment

Improvement of strategic mineral stockpiling system

Metallurgical technology of strategic minerals

Technologies for efficient development of strategic minerals subject to shortages

Technologies for high-quality utilisation technology of strategic minerals

Strategic mineral measuring and testing technology

Other relevant fields of research

Priority is given to young researchers (Male researchers born after January 1, 1983, and female researchers born after January 1, 1981).

The U.S. Army Just Called China’s Bluff in the Rare Earth War

Just recently, in a span of about six weeks, one impressive company was selected by the U.S. Army to build and operate rare earth processing facilities on an American military base…the first time the Army has ever done this. That same company closed $100 million in institutional financing, giving it a war chest of roughly $130 million. It was also formally added to the Russell 3000 Index. And it locked in MOU’s for feedstock agreements covering billions of tonnes of rare earth-bearing material from sources across Wyoming, Appalachia…

Oil Prices Ignore the Warning Signs in Physical Markets

Oil price movements since the start of March this year have become the topic of dozens of discussions. Many have been puzzled by futures prices and why they haven’t gone through the roof given the severe disruption in Middle Eastern supply. It appears the reason is sheer optimism and a bet on market adaptability. However, there is a problem with that. Adaptability has limits. Many commentators like to compare the current oil price—and supply—situation to 2022, when Russia’s incursion into eastern Ukraine prompted an actual…

The World’s Largest Sand Battery Is Now Online

Modern power grids require a constant, real-time balance between supply and consumption. Unfortunately, the integration of wind and solar energy makes power grids unstable due to the intermittent nature of renewable energy generation. To prevent localized grid blackouts or harmful voltage spikes, utilities are increasingly pairing renewables with battery storage and/or rapid-response natural gas plants to smooth out fluctuating supply. However, Finland has now come up with a rather eccentric method to store excess renewable energy and release it…

Refined Fuels, Not Crude, Are Driving the Oil Market Crunch

Oil prices have just come off a fresh two-month high as the crude oil market has tumbled this week amid signals of de-escalation in the U.S.-Iran conflict. Despite the slump in crude prices and the extreme volatility in the past five months, the refined product market continues to tighten with refining margins at record highs because the supply of petroleum products is much tighter than crude supply. Refining margins held at record highs even as crude oil prices soared last week to $100 per barrel. That’s because global gasoline, diesel,…
