Our colleague Dr. Matthias Buchert talked at the conference “Wind Turbine Supply Chain & Logistics” in August about the interlinkage between wind energy growth and rare earths demand. You can download the highly interesting facts and scenarios of future resource requirements in the presentation “Rare Earths - a Bottleneck for future Wind Turbine Technologies?” here: http://www.resourcefever.org/publications/presentations/Wind%20Supply%20Chain%202011%20-%20Buchert_final.pdf
