Greenland’s rare minerals could help Europe and the US counter China’s lead in tech and green energy.
Industries use these minerals in electric cars, wind turbines, smartphones, computer chips, and military equipment. China currently provides most of these materials. As a result, the US and Europe are searching for other sources.
Greenland’s rare earth and uranium deposits, especially at Kvanefjeld, make it a focal point in global competition for critical minerals. Control of these resources brings strategic advantages in technology, energy, and security, increasing international interest and scrutiny on Greenland.
