First, environmental plant closures in the raw material coal needle coke industry hampered the production of graphite electrodes. At the same time, consumption of graphite electrodes in electric arc furnaces (EAFs) began to rise as the Chinese government took steps to halt production of poor quality induction furnace steel.

Only a handful of countries mine graphite and even fewer refine the mineral enough to be used in batteries and other products. Experts observing the graphite market expect graphite supply to hit a deficit as EV battery makers increase production. Tesla 4680 production tripled in Q3 2022, cell ramp is “gaining rapid traction”.

That spherical graphite is a less expensive product than its cousin, where we take the spherical graphite and put it through a secondary process called coating—applying that microscopic layer of asphalt to it. It’s a petroleum product. Will there be that much production online in Canada? Will it match demand? Probably not.

The project’s graphite product basket is a mix of jumbo, large and small flake, complementing Tirupati’s existing mix of predominantly jumbo and large flake graphite products from Madagascar. As well as purity, flake size is one of the main variables determining the product type and end application of flake graphite.

Starting this month, the Chinese government requires permits for certain graphite products being exported. It’s an essential component and China is responsible for about 66 percent of the world’s graphite production. & In terms of graphite production, no other nation comes close. Mozambique and Madagascar produce 13 and 8.5
