U.S. Government Supports Domestic Rare Earth Metals Processing to Reduce Dependence on China
The U.S. government is investing in domestic rare earth metal processing to mitigate reliance on China. REalloys is leading efforts to convert rare earth oxides into usable metals at its Ohio facility, backed by government funding. The company has secured partnerships, including with the Saskatchewan Research Council, to ensure a reliable supply of rare metals. New federal regulations will prohibit the use of Chinese-sourced rare earth materials in U.S. defense systems by 2027, emphasizing the importance of domestic processing capabilities.

The U.S. government is actively supporting the domestic processing of rare earth metals to decrease dependence on China. REalloys is pioneering the conversion of rare earth oxides into finished metals at its Euclid, Ohio facility, with financial backing from the government.
The company partners with the Saskatchewan Research Council for a steady supply of heavy rare metals. Federal regulations will ban the use of Chinese-sourced rare earth materials in American defense systems starting in 2027. This shift underlines the urgency for a national processing capacity to enhance military readiness and secure the supply chain for critical materials.
