Battery Power Sector

Lithium-ion batteries are found everywhere today in laptops, cell phones, audio players, digital cameras, power tools and medical devices with progress continually ongoing. While the market is significant and growing, its actually about to take a big leap forward in the vehicle sector.

There is a growing consensus that the world is moving towards a critical tipping point in the demand for electric and hybrid electric vehicles (EVs and HEVs). Given that these vehicles are powered largely by lithium-ion batteries, and that natural graphite is a key component in the anode portion of these batteries, it is widely expected that demand for graphite will increase significantly over the next ten years. To put this into perspective, the average EV or HEV will require approximately 1,000 individual battery cells per car. Each cell will contain approximately 14 grams of graphite, or about 13 new kilograms of graphite per vehicle. This is in addition to the many other items in a vehicle already using natural graphite.

As a result, given a modest annual increase in vehicle production over the next ten to fifteen years; allowing for a reasonable conversion to EVs and HEVs; and taking into account the battery replacement processes that will occur as cars age, it is expected that annual global graphite requirements could increase as much as 500,000 tonnes per year. If you add in the current and expected export constraints from key suppliers such as China, it is completely understandable that graphite customers around the world are looking for alternate and stable suppliers such as MEGA Graphite.

Only flake graphite is able to be enhanced to 99.9% purity used to make the requisite “spherical” graphite used in vehicle batteries. The process is expensive resulting in prices as high as $3-4,000/ton – as much as triple the price for high quality flake graphite.
