The pilot-scale platform of an enterprise affiliated with China Rare Earth Group has been selected as one of the first batch of national-level key pilot-scale platforms for cultivation

Published: May 20, 2025 21:17

Recently, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology announced the list of the first batch of 242 national-level key pilot-scale demonstration platforms for cultivation. Among them, the pilot-scale demonstration platform for high-end rare earth functional materials of China Rare Earth Group Innovation Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "CREG Innovation") has been successfully selected for the list of key pilot-scale demonstration platforms for cultivation in the non-ferrous metals sector of the raw material industry.

The pilot-scale demonstration platform for high-end rare earth functional materials of CREG Innovation is a comprehensive innovation carrier that integrates core functions such as design verification, sample trial production, and process optimization. Leveraging the resource endowments and industrial foundation of the China Rare Earth Group, the platform focuses on meeting the needs of the country's strategic emerging industries. It prioritizes the establishment of core pilot-scale production lines for high-performance rare earth permanent magnet devices, high-end micro and special motors, rare earth environmental protection catalytic materials, rare earth photo-functional ceramics and devices, rare earth aluminum-magnesium alloys, rare earth nano-powders, and more. It integrates the full-chain functions of "technology verification - process optimization - industrial application," collaborates with high-end scientific research carriers such as the National Innovation Center, academician workstations, and joint laboratories, and deeply aligns with the demands of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area's new energy, electronic information, biomedical, and other 100-billion-yuan-level end-use application industrial clusters. It supports the development of strategic emerging industries and future industrial systems, accelerating the industrial application of rare earth materials in cutting-edge fields such as solid-state batteries, medical devices, intelligent robots, semiconductors, and optical information.

CREG Innovation will take this selection as an opportunity to fully leverage the "bridging and linking" role of the pilot-scale demonstration platform, accelerate the advancement of technological breakthroughs and the industrialization process of high-end rare earth functional materials, and contribute core strength to serving national strategies and achieving high-level self-reliance and strength in science and technology.
