Innovate UK is the UK’s national innovation agency, part of UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) and provides funding, expert advice, and networking opportunities to foster innovation across various sectors, including technology, manufacturing, and energy. Through its CLIMATES programme , Innovate UK will invest up to GBP 5 million in innovation projects focused on circular critical materials supply chains.

One of its key initiatives is the Critical Materials for Magnets: Strand 2 , which focuses on supporting mid- and late-stage research and development (R&D) for materials essential in the production of magnets. This initiative aims to enhance the UK’s capability in developing sustainable and high-performance magnet materials, crucial for applications in electric vehicles, renewable energy technologies, and electronics.

Key objectives of this strand include:

Research and Development : Funding R&D projects that advance the understanding and processing of critical materials for magnets, particularly rare earth elements (REEs) and alternatives.

Circular Supply Chains : Supporting projects focused on identifying, collecting, sorting, separating, and dismantling end-of-life products containing REEs, as well as the circular design of products with high-performance magnets. This includes the safe and economic removal of magnets from end-of-life products, valorisation of scrap materials produced during magnet manufacture, and the development of novel, sustainable routes for processing recovered REE materials.

Sustainability : Promoting environmentally friendly practices, ensuring that the supply chain is not only sustainable and resilient but also compliant with environmental, societal, and governance (ESG) standards. Solutions for ensuring the provenance of REE materials, such as sustainability models for life cycle analysis, embedded carbon accounting, and monitoring of radioactivity and societal impacts, will be encouraged.

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…

The Race to Solve Nuclear Energy’s Biggest Problem

Nuclear power is growing in popularity once again as governments worldwide look to diversify their energy mix and reduce reliance on fossil fuels. Several countries are now looking to develop or expand their nuclear energy capacity over the coming decades. However, one challenge remains – nuclear waste. Disposing of waste materials from nuclear energy operations remains a complex task with no perfect solution. As countries worldwide have grown their nuclear power capacity, many governments are still struggling to decide on the best solution…

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…
