The article discusses the development issues of rare earth metal deposits in the context of ensuring low-carbon development. The directions of the use of rare earth metals in renewable energy, including the production of solar panels and wind farms, are shown. The assessment of world reserves and production of rare earth metals is given, the prospects for the development of rare earth metal deposits in the Arctic zone of Russia are shown. Also factors that may affect the development of the mineral resource base of Russia, including the extraction and use of rare earth metals, are highlighted. The economic instruments for regulating projects in the field of mining are considered. Many economic decarbonization projects, including the development of rare earth metal deposits, are expensive. The funds received from the carbon tax are proposed to be used to finance and support projects for the development of rare earth metals deposits. A scheme for using a carbon tax to finance projects for the extraction and use of rare earth metals has been proposed.
Key words: rare earth metals / field development / low-carbon development / project / methods of economic regulation / carbon tax / Russia / China
