It could be that Dust absorbs energy from its environment - thermal, kinetic, you name it. It's just that it's a slow process and it takes thousands of years and very specific geological conditions for discharged Dust to recharge.

Maybe some people think they know how to accelerate the process but companies like the SDC are trying to suppress the discovery because it might make the mining and refining of fresh Dust less profitable?
