GreenMet plans $150M rare earth processing hub in West Virginia
A planned rare-earth processing hub would add future capacity for rare-earth inputs if built.

How it reaches your house.
Starting from Rare-earth elements (NdPr), we walked the supply graph hop by hop to the goods you buy and the companies you own. Each step is the engine’s reasoning, scored for confidence and cited where a source backs it.
First impact
Rare-earth elements (NdPr) →supply upNdPr is a critical input for rare earth magnets with dependency_strength 0.9, so planned additional NdPr processing capacity would ease future magnet-input availability if built.
74% confidenceRare-earth elements (NdPr) →supply upBecause the planned hub is in West Virginia and the United States is already represented as a NdPr supply country with a 12% share, the shock increases future U.S.-based rare-earth input supply capacity.
66% confidenceRare-earth elements (NdPr) →Prices easeChina is the dominant incumbent NdPr supply country at 70% share, so incremental non-China capacity could modestly pressure incumbent pricing or bargaining power, though the planned hub's scale is not quantified.
Hop 2
China →supply upBecause China is shown as supplying 95% of Terbium metal, a planned non-China rare-earth processing hub would, if built, add future rare-earth input capacity and modestly ease availability of this China-concentrated rare-earth input.
54% confidenceHop 3
Terbium (Tb) Metal →supply upTerbium metal is a critical input for rare earth magnets with dependency_strength 0.85, so added future Terbium-related capacity would ease availability for magnet production.
58% confidenceTerbium (Tb) Metal →Prices easeChina is shown with a 95% Terbium metal supply share, so net-new non-Chinese capacity would most directly pressure the dominant incumbent supplier base through potential price and share dilution.
56% confidenceTerbium (Tb) Metal →supply upThe graph shows the United States currently has a 0% Terbium metal supply share, so a planned West Virginia rare-earth processing hub would represent incremental future domestic supply if built.
