World Difficult to Get Rid of the Chinese Rare Earth Dependence
|
As the Chinese government restricted the export of rare earth, the whole world to speed up the "out of China" and "out of earth" pace. However, all this is very difficult to achieve.
Development of new rare earth mine obstacles
From the United States to Australia, Vietnam and South Africa, the world set off a wave of development of rare earth mine.
U.S. companies have decided to re-molybdenum mining in California, Mountain Pass rare earth mine. The mine was once one of the world's largest rare earth mine. The company plans to increase investment in production equipment, etc., put into production by 2012. Linus Australian mining company also plans to produce from the second half of 2011, Wilder Mine, Western Australia, the rare earth.
Japanese companies are also speeding up development projects overseas. Double date with Toyota Tsusho has started the development of new mines in Vietnam, plans to start production from 2012. Additionally, Toyota Tsusho has also begun preparations for the development of rare earth in India. So in the end of these development projects to help get rid of the extent to which reliance on China Rare Earth?
RE is responsible for the professional trading company, most people pessimistic, warning that: "many obstacles in front of sideways."
Development of Rare Earth had a lot to take time and money in production for many years before the preparation period. Even the smooth development of preparatory work, most of the new projects have to be officially put into operation after 2012.
Rare Japanese companies, next year will be the most critical year. By 40% this year, China's export volume of rare earth next year if further reduce exports, will inevitably cause a large number of Japanese companies less than the minimum purchase requirement, making it difficult to sustain.
Nevertheless, Japan has left behind. Although the proposed mine plan mining in Mongolia, but there are several years away from production.
Dominant position in China will not waver
Countries are trying to reduce dependence on Chinese rare earth. "De-China" is rapidly around the world. However, many people predicted, "China's market dominance will not be shaken." Australia IMCOA consulting firm, said China's current share of rare earth in 90% of the world, with the national development process, this share will gradually decrease, but even in 2014, China maintained 80% share of RE.
Rare U.S. exploration company said: "China Rare Earth other than the majority of development projects at an early stage of exploration." As the company said, other countries can not achieve this stage of the large supply of many varieties. Even the official start of the supply of many varieties, there are still many unresolved issues.
Japanese car manufacturers are required to earth environment friendly cars - Dy, in addition to almost any country outside of China's lower cost deposits to be mined. Chinese Government to strengthen its export restrictions on the rare earth may be related to the fate of company car manufacturers.
The Chinese government restrictions on the export of rare ± began around 2005, then began to strengthen. Reasoning behind the "price control" of the intent. This is due to cheap exports of rare earth in the past reflection.
Prior to China's export of rare earth at low cost. The proliferation of small and medium enterprises expense of the environment, control development costs, compete to provide cheap world of rare earth.
China has rich rare earth resources, processing technology failed to accumulate, and the reason is the lack of national industrial policy, enterprises can supply important resources at low prices. Aware of this constraint the central government began to rare earth industry, through the control of the market to control prices, industry training resources and accelerate the introduction and accumulation from overseas processing technology.
Alternative Technology is just illusion?
Hard to imagine the Chinese government will increase future exports of rare earth. By the world's rare earth production have to take a long time. Thus, the development of technology to reduce the amount of rare earth and the use of alternative technologies will become a top priority. However, the development "get rid of Rare Earth," the alternative technologies need to overcome great difficulties.
Condensed essence of Japanese high-end technology of environmental protection can not do without cars and energy-saving appliances and other rare earth neodymium and dysprosium. To overcome this difficulty, New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO) 9 announced a joint development with the Hokkaido University, do not use rare earth car engine.
However, even if alternative technologies in terms of performance and cost to meet the conditions, but also face many construction products, production systems and durability issues. While the car manufacturers in the study of alternative technologies has made progress, but the threshold of mass production is still high.
Currently the problem seems to find solutions. A person familiar with the situation in China's trade proposal: "Why do not hold multilateral consultations on the issue and explore ways to a soft landing?"
The dilemma of the Chinese seems teasing continues. |
