The supply-demand balance has been updated based on our expectations for growth from the EV battery sector

The European Automobile Manufacturer's Association (ACEA) has called for 'binding' targets set at a European level to enable the energy transition of Europe's transport sector

Graphite availability and total EV battery costs were two key reasons for less active participation by automakers in securing key material

Fastmarkets’ graphite electrodes launch illuminates rising offer prices amid limited availability, according to market participants

The world is going to need more graphite, both in natural and synthetic forms, to meet the demands from the energy transition

Trading companies are concerned about the potential risk to their reputation and image while they form their strategies to capitalize on the business opportunities offered by energy transition efforts, according to a new report by PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC)

Fastmarkets will launch two price assessments for high power (HP) and ultra high power (UHP) graphite electrodes on Wednesday January 19

This will take Northern Graphite from being a junior miner to a producer, although they will enter a relatively tight market

Chinese battery makers are expected to consider increasing the proportion of natural graphite feedstock they use in anode material because of the fast-rising cost profile and availability issues affecting supplies of synthetic graphite

Growing new energy vehicle (NEV) take-up is set to boost demand for anode material, which along with China’s decarbonization efforts, a seasonal halt and global logistics interruptions, will support the natural flake graphite market at the start of 2022
