• Clean energy industries and rare earth materials: Economic and financial issues (2013, background): “Future adoption of these materials in low carbon economy may result in a disproportionate increase in the demand that, under certain conditions, over the next 25 years might rise more than 700% and 2600% respectively for Neodymium and Dysprosium (Alonso et al., 2012).”
• Criticality of metals and metalloids (2015, methodology): “More recently, a decrease in exports of rare earth elements by China resulted in a variety of technological disruptions (5, 6).”
• Life-Cycle Assessment of the Production of Rare-Earth Elements for Energy Applications: A Review (2014, background): “Given that REEs provide critical functionality in many applications, especially sustainable mobility and energy supply (Gibson and Parkinson, 2011; Alonso et al., 2012; Hatch, 2012), the interest and need for them is growing and will continue to grow (Bauer et al., 2010; Paul and Campbell, 2011;…”

• Integrated life-cycle assessment of electricity-supply scenarios confirms global environmental benefit of low-carbon technologies (2014, background): “Comparative studies often focus on a single issue, such as selected pollutants (7), or the use of land (8) or metals (9, 10).”
• Rare Earths and the Balance Problem (2015, background): “Recently, several research groups started to address this issue (Alonso et al., 2012; Du and Graedel 2011a; Du and Graedel 2011b; Du and Graedel 2011c; Du and Graedel 2013; Nansai et al. 2014; Rademaker et al. 2013).”
• Rare Earth Elements: Overview of Mining, Mineralogy, Uses, Sustainability and Environmental Impact (2014, background): “Future large scale adoption of these technologies will increase the demand for these two elements [8].”
• Effect of Chinese policies on rare earth supply chain resilience (2019, background): “In addition, there have been studies on replacement of REE as input and its effects on clean energy development (Alonso et al., 2012; Kleijn, 2012; Riddle et al., 2015; Stegen, 2015).”
