US Critical Minerals Mining Strengthened Under Investing in America Initiative

by Geraldine S.
05/10/2024
in Industry, Supply Chain

The US has enhanced its critical minerals mining program as part of President Biden’s Investing in America agenda, making it eligible for funding under the US Department of Energy’s Loan Programs Office (LPO) through the Clean Energy Financing Program. The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law permits the LPO to support projects that expand the domestic supply of critical minerals, covering production, processing, manufacturing, recycling, and the development of mineral alternatives. This initiative is part of the Biden-Harris Administration’s broader strategy to bolster the US critical minerals supply chain. The US relies entirely on imports for approximately 12 critical minerals, with China being the main exporter of many of these, posing potential risks to national supply chains.

These critical minerals include rare earth elements, essential for technology, high-powered magnets, electronics, and various industries, as well as natural graphite used in lithium-ion batteries. Other key minerals such as lithium, silicon, cobalt, and manganese are vital for manufacturing clean-energy technologies like solar panels, wind turbines, electric vehicles, and hydrogen fuel cells. Currently, the US depends on China for nearly 90% of rare earth elements, raising concerns about the impact on the US economy, clean energy initiatives, and national defense. The US has significant critical mineral resources but aims to increase domestic mining and processing efforts. The concentration of critical mineral supplies in countries like China is considered risky for investors and businesses, diminishes US economic strength, and weakens energy security. Additionally, foreign sources often have lower environmental or labor standards.

The LPO is actively supporting US critical minerals projects, aligning with President Biden’s clean energy and climate objectives, including conditional commitments to mineral processing and battery materials recycling projects. The LPO will prioritize funding for critical minerals mining projects that significantly reduce emissions, garner support from affected Tribes and communities, and provide strong labor, environmental, and environmental justice benefits while meeting other program requirements.

Projects under the Title 17 Innovative Energy or Innovative Supply Chain categories must demonstrate a reduction or avoidance of lifecycle air pollutants or greenhouse gas emissions while deploying innovative technologies. These projects will also undergo a comprehensive analysis of potential environmental and socioeconomic impacts. Recently, industry leaders have expressed concerns that a proposed US government sustainability ruling, aimed at protecting a tenth of the country’s public land, could impact the critical minerals mining industry in North America.

About Investing in America Economic Program

Investing in America is a multi-trillion dollar public investment plan designed to revitalize the nation’s infrastructure, enhance productivity, and maintain US global competitiveness over the next decade.
