President Trump signed an executive order aimed at expanding domestic production of rare-earth minerals vital to most manufacturing sectors and reducing dependence on China.
Airlines say their newer generation jets are 20% more fuel efficient than the models they’re phasing out, many of which end up in the fleets of cargo carriers.
The European planemaker unveiled three designs it’s studying to build hydrogen-powered aircraft as it races to bring a zero-carbon passenger plane into service by 2035.
FedEx Corp. is looking at using small self-flying cargo planes to serve remote areas after experimenting with a technology startup on autonomous aircraft.
The fuel that powers passenger planes is normally among the most expensive oil products, but in a sign of the times the coronavirus has turned it into a blending component for typically cheaper shipping fuel.
U.S. House lawmakers introduced a bipartisan bill aimed at reducing dependence on China for rare earths used in everything from electric vehicles to missiles to wind turbines.
These are the necessary steps toward developing a research-and-development partnership among the private sector, government and academia to wrest control of the REE supply chain from China.
Efforts are underway in the U.S. to break China’s monopoly on the mining and processing of rare earth minerals, which are found in many high-tech products for consumer, industrial and military use. But it’s going to be a long haul to achieve that goal.
It's unrealistic to believe the U.S. can break China’s monopoly over the rare earth element market through private investment and the opening of new domestic mines.

ON-DEMAND WEBINAR
This year has been transformational for supply chains. Many topics that were top of mind yesterday have now been almost forgotten due to rapidly changing priorities. One topic, however, remains constant: sustainability.
Some of the world's largest and most innovative companies embrace sustainability and corporate responsibility across their organizations and value chains. But companies often measure and manage their sustainability performance with – at best – inaccurate data. This means that any improvement may be a statistical artifact.
Join AWS, HERE Technologies and our guest speaker from Bosch to discover how real-time data and location technology can help you build a more sustainable and efficient supply chain.
Watch the webinar and learn how to:
1) Leverage reliable data to measure and improve your CO2 footprint
2) Use the power of location to do better what-if analyses
3) Track the performance of your logistics vendors to drive SLA improvement.
Speakers:
Peter Kueth, Senior Product Marketing Manager, HERE Technologies
Adam Roark, Worldwide Transportation & Logistics Industry Lead, AWS
Andreas Leiting, Director, Bosch Connected Mobility Solutions, Bosch Group
