As North America’s only producer of natural graphite, Northern Graphite is in a unique and strategic position. Our role extends beyond mere supply; we are at the forefront of powering electric vehicles with essential battery anode materials. It is more than a business for us – it’s about being a key player in the global shift towards electrification. Northern Graphite’s strategy is to leverage our unique position to become a vertically integrated mine-to-market company meeting the growing needs of the North American and European markets by producing graphite, supplying battery anode material and redefining carbon material solutions for industrial markets.

I encourage folks to join us on Thursday this week for this Battery Forum conversation hosted by the Volta Foundation where we'll be talking about how to build processing capacity for graphite battery anode material in North America and the rest of the Western world.
Join us at the Battery Forum (Volta Foundation) on April 10th to discuss "Building a Graphite Battery Anode Material Supply Chain in North America". The Battery Forum is Volta Foundation’s flagship virtual conference series, bringing together leading executives, technologists, researchers, and everyone in between covering various domains including engineering, policy, R&D, supply chain, finance, venture capital, and more.

The European Union’s Strategic Projects framework is designed to help the EU meet self-sufficiency targets of 10% extraction, 40% processing, and 25% recycling of key raw materials by 2030. The 47 selected projects, like this one by UP Catalyst - congratulations! - will have fast-tracked permitting and funding support in order to boost Europe’s strategic raw material capacities and diversify its sources of supply. Also among the 47 Strategic Projects was #Northerngraphite’s proposal to upgrade #graphite from its Okanjande project in Namibia into Battery Anode Material in France. You can learn more about our project proposal here: https://lnkd.in/eQuNU6G9
UP Catalyst secures €18 million European Investment Bank (EIB) financing to advance the EU’s #critical raw material production! The EIB is providing an €18 million loan to UP Catalyst to scale up molten salt electrolysis technology and produce high-performance carbon materials for #EV batteries, #defence, paints, coatings, polymers, and concrete. UP Catalyst's graphite produced from CO₂ emissions already meets the quality of fossil-based alternatives. This financing will help expand production to 270 tonnes of carbon nanotubes (#CNT) and 1,350 tonnes of climate-neutral #graphite annually — key step toward our goal of producing 60 000 tons of graphite annually by 2030. At an official event held today at UP Catalyst’s production facility, the company showcased its new Generation 3 Alpha reactor and demonstrated live graphite production from CO₂ using operational #reactors. The event was attended by many guests, including Thomas Östros, Vice-President of the European Investment Bank (EIB); Maive Rute, Deputy Director-General (DG GROW) at the European Commission; and Andres Sutt, Minister of Energy and the Environment of Estonia. In March 2025, UP Catalyst was recognised as a Strategic Project Partner by the European Commission under the Critical Raw Materials Act (#CRMA). Both the EIB financing and this recognition as a Strategic Partner represent major milestones in accelerating the shift toward a climate-resilient, resource-secure Europe. #CRMA #graphite #CCU

The US was dependent on imports of #graphite, manganese and rare earths from China in 2024. This article from Benchmark Mineral Intelligence outlines the funding ramp up for critical mineral exploration by both countries. https://lnkd.in/gZwBSpBs

The recent order from Trump aims to bolster domestic production and improve the supply chains for critical minerals in the U.S. This strategy is designed to support key industries, promote economic growth, and tackle national security challenges. Nevertheless, it also presents regulatory hurdles, creating concerns regarding the effective execution of these initiatives. Interested in discovering how this order might influence U.S. supply chains and the critical minerals sector?
