Aluminum is a critical element used in thousands of important products, but it can often interfere with quick and effective extraction of valuable rare earth elements (REEs) from coal waste byproducts. The creation of a reliable domestic supply of REEs is needed for US economic, energy and national security. Earlier post.)

The decline of coal use in the European Union and United States is overshadowed by surging natural gas and oil use around the world, according to the researchers. About 40% of global carbon dioxide emissions were attributable to coal use, 34% from oil, 20% from natural gas, and the remaining 6% from cement production and other sources.
