GREENE, short for SINGLE-GRAIN RE-ENGINEERED ND-FE-B PERMANENT MAGNETS, is an EU-funded project focused on pioneering advancements in high-performance permanent magnets, re-engineering their microstructure to make them more powerful while at the same time reducing Rare Earth (RE) content. Led by the Slovenian Jožef Stefan Institute, our consortium of 15 European partners is tackling the environmental and supply challenges associated with these crucial components of high-tech products that power a green energy future, such as e-vehicles and wind turbines.
Resource-efficient, high-performance Nd-Fe-B magnets with -20% RE content, +20% coercivity, and maximum energy product by 20%.
Independent, resilient and scalable supply of key materials, magnets and components within Europe.
Increased sustainability of magnet production with -5% scrap rates, -15% energy consumed and -30% toxicity.
Society and stakeholders better equipped for a sustainable green transition in Europe.
GREENE brings together 15 leading organisations from across Europe, each contributing unique expertise to create breakthrough solutions in material science.
GREENE research partners have shown that the answer may be yes. By combining a recycling route that preserves the original microstructure with in-situ grain-boundary diffusion, they produced recycled Nd-Fe-B magnets with a coercivity 13% higher than that of the starting material.

After several months of work, we gladly present GREENE’s new project video. Watch it now and learn about the challenge GREENE is tackling, our mission to reingeneer magnets, and how GREENE pioneers a sustainable future with permanent Nd-Fe-B magnets.

Following the G7 Summit in Évian in June 2026, heads of state and government underlined the strategic importance of critical minerals for economic prosperity, energy systems and global security. Against the backdrop of geopolitical tensions, concentrated supply chains and increasing trade restrictions, access to critical raw materials has evolved from
