Price rises are the result of a perfect storm of conditions in China, Roskill said. Natural flake graphite has to first be purified with high temperatures and strong acids and sphericalized into the intermediate product spherical graphite for use as an anode material—a process which is currently carried out only in China.

Some advanced designs use a small amount of silicon, which can store more energy. Silicon has some very desirable properties—it stores significant amounts of energy, it’s very conductive, it’s lighter—but there are some challenges with it. The largest graphite mine in the world right now is in China, up in the northeast province.

A similar plant in China and Poland would cost an estimated $112 million and $65 million, respectively. Precursor material produced at plants in the DRC could be cost competitive with material produced in China and Poland but with a lower environmental footprint. —James Frith, head of energy storage at BNEF.
