The world economy depends on the oil. This has become clear at the latest in the oil crises 1973 and 1979. As awareness of the scarcity of this resource increases, so does its price.
However, largely unnoticed, we have long since fallen into a second dependency - from the so-called rare earths: these metals are difficult to obtain in 17 are needed in numerous high-tech areas, from cell phones and LED TVs on modern medicine to electrical and electronic Hybrid engines, which should solve the mobility of the oil. Rare earths are among the most valuable raw materials in the world today.
Largest supplier of indispensable elements is by far China. And like the Arab states in oil, the People's Republic thus has the market in hand. In the past, China has already drastically reduced its export quotas for rare earths, and further reductions have been announced for the near future. One of the reasons for this monopoly position is that China has so far not paid attention to environmental compatibility during dismantling. Air, soil and water were ruthlessly polluted.
In order to break this dependency on Chinese exports and promote clean mining, the Institute for Rare Earths was founded. We see ourselves as a counseling center and network platform and offer not only comprehensive information about rare earths but also professional research analyzes on occurrences, dismantling projects and stock investments. The aim of the institute is to bring together suppliers, buyers and investors in order to open up the economically critical resource rare earths outside of China.
