In an effort to support US critical minerals projects, the Biden administration is considering market intervention to counter the crash in prices of lithium and other key minerals caused by overflow of supply from China,
An official from the Energy Department told the publication that the new policy would involve setting a price floor and agree to pay the difference when market prices fall below that threshold for critical minerals produced in the US. The new measure would bolster US domestic production of minerals for clean energy technologies and electric vehicles — a major part of the Biden administration’s climate and manufacturing agenda. More importantly, it would lessen America’s reliance on China, which dominates the global supply chain for critical minerals.
