North America has little to no capacity for processing graphite battery anode material, leaving a massive gap in the EV battery building supply chain. In this fireside chat with the Battery Forum (Volta Foundation), we look at bringing BAM to the region and its challenges, from geopolitics to the right kind of government policies to drive investment. Just in case you missed this, you can watch it here. https://lnkd.in/e-mUZ55e #evrevolutions #graphite #energytransition

Northern is poised to be a significant supplier of graphite to the EV revolution and widescale electrification.
About us
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.

With its plans to build a Battery Anode Materials facility in Baie-Comeau, #Northerngraphite is positioning itself to be a supplier to North America and the West as demand builds #graphite for the #energytransition and #evrevolution.
⚠️ US-China Tariffs: What 170% Means for the Future of the Anode Industry? With US import tariffs on Chinese anode material now hitting 170%, and further announcements seemingly plateauing, I delve into the implications of soaring import costs, where domestic producers stand, and how this could reshape the anode landscape moving forward. For deeper insights like this, check out Benchmark’s Anode Forecast. For more information on this service, feel free to reach out. #Graphite #Anode #EVs #Tariffs #BatterySupplyChain

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
