Graphex Group is forming technology joint ventures to leverage our technology and expertise to build regional battery anode material plants ( Value Addition ) supporting European and Middle Eastern Gigafactories
- With the proliferation of electric vehicles forecasted to accelerate, this is expected to represent a third of the annual global production of passenger vehicles, or 35 million EV units/year, by 2030.
- To support this growth, manufacturing facilities, or gigafactories, are being commissioned across Europe and the US to produce batteries for electric vehicles on an increased scale.
- Gigafactories will consume enormous quantities of natural resources, with an EV battery typically requiring:
- 70kg of battery-grade graphite
- 60kg of Lithium and 20kg of Cobalt
- A 16 GWh plant, therefore, consumes 16,000 tons of battery graphite (or 1k ton/GW), 13,700 tons of Lithium, and 4,500 tons of cobalt per annum
