International Day of Clean Energy

The UN's International Day of Clean Energy isn't rare-earth-specific, but NdFeB permanent magnets made from rare earth elements (chiefly neodymium) are essential to EV motors and wind turbines.

MetalsCost Rare Earths Day

MetalsCost marks June 19 for the rare earth elements as a group — the day after the neodymium discovery date, since neodymium is the one rare earth this site tracks a live price for.

MetalsCost Editorial Day — not an official international or industry observance. No single verified discovery or founding date exists for this metal, so MetalsCost assigned an evenly-spaced content-calendar date rather than inventing a claimed "day."

Why Rare Earth Elements Matters

The rare-earth element that makes powerful motors small — without it, today's compact EV drivetrains and wind turbines would need to be considerably bulkier.

Quick Fact

Almost none of the world's neodymium trades on a public exchange — like several other rare and minor metals here, it's priced through surveyed benchmark assessments rather than a listed futures contract.
