fficient and enhance their performance. They are therefore used for electric motors in electric and hybrid vehicles as well as generators used in wind turbines. Neodymium -iron-boron (NdFeBo) and Samarium -cobalt (SmCo) magnets are the most common permanent magnets in the market . BNEF anticipates demand for rare earths for use in wind turbines will triple by 2 to 1,0 metric tons of rare - earth oxides. This will be driven by the overall growth in installed capacity and the rising market share of direct -drive turbines with permanent magnet generators in the offshore market. China today controls much of the rare earths market ( Figure and this stands to pose challenges for .. wind manufacturers that use direct -drive permanent magnets generators rather than gearboxes. Direct -drive generators make up roughly 1% of the global onshore market today and 7% of the offshore market. 9%5%4%Steel Electronic scrap GFRP Copper CFRP Rare earth Aluminium Lead Concrete2 /MW Steel Electronic scrap GFRP Copper CFRP Rare earth Aluminium Lead Concrete6 /MWFigure 4: Global rare earth production, 2 Source: ..

Manufacturing The wind supply chain has both local and global characteristics. The industry is deploying ever larger turbines to capture more resource and reduce levelized costs of energy (LCOE). Larger turbines require larger and heavier components that are more costly to ship. This would appear to be pushing the indus
