About Pensana Plc
The electrification of motive power is by far the most important part of the
energy transition and one of the biggest energy transitions in history. Magnet
metal rare earths are central to the transition away from internal combustion
engines and critical to electric vehicles and offshore wind turbines.
Pensana plans to establish Saltend as an independent and sustainable
processing hub supplying the key magnet metal oxides to a market which is
currently dominated by China. The US$195 million Saltend facility is being
designed to produce 12,500 tonnes per annum of rare earth oxides, of which
4,500–5,000 tonnes will be neodymium and praseodymium (NdPr), representing
over 5% of the world market in 2025.
Pensana’s plug-and-play facility is located within the world-class Saltend
Chemicals Park, a cluster of leading chemicals and renewable energy businesses
in the Humber Freeport and will create over 500 jobs during construction and
over 125 direct jobs once in production.
It will be the first major separation facility to be established in over a
decade and will become one of only three major producers located outside
China.
Pensana is aiming to establish Saltend as an attractive alternative for mining
companies who may otherwise be limited to selling their products to China,
having designed the facility to be easily adapted to cater for a range of rare
earth feedstocks.
