There are many topics debated in the lithium-ion battery anode
\nmarket. For example, which cathode chemistry is most appropriate
\nfor which application be it nickel, cobalt, manganese or iron in
\nvarying ratios with lithium. Rarely up for debate, however, is the
\nbattery anode material. That's because it's almost always
\ngraphite.<\/p>\n

\ntrying to build a resilient electric vehicle (EV) supply chain that
\nlevers away mainland China's influence on the EV battery supply
\nchain. When it comes to graphite, this is a big problem, albeit not
\ninsurmountable. Mainland China is the world's largest graphite
\nproducer, producing 77% of the world's graphite demand in 2023,
\nwith the US importing 42% of its graphite requirements from
\nChina.US graphite demand gets to the crux of the problem \u2014 it
\nimported 84,000 metric tons of graphite, while consuming 76,000
\nmetric tons, meaning its production is negligible.<\/p>\n
\nInflation Reduction Act, a program stacked high with incentives for
\ncompanies to build local EV supply chains. This was further
\nmagnified on Dec. 1, 2023, when the US government released guidance
\non the foreign entity of concern (FEOC), which listed four
\ncountries \u2014 the People's Republic of China (PRC), the Russian
\nFederation, the Democratic People's Republic of North Korea and the
\nIslamic Republic of Iran. The mandate added a new layer of FEOC
\nrequirements, pulling away the eligibility of EVs powered by
\nbatteries made primarily in China or using materials that are
\nextracted and\/or processed in China from qualifying for federal tax
\ncredits of up to $7,500.<\/p>\n
\nChina imposed a temporary measure for companies exporting
\ngraphite<\/a>. China's move is expected to hit the graphite supply
\nto nations that are heavily dependent on it, including the US,
\nJapan, South Korea, Europe and other regions. China also refines
\nmore than 90% of the graphite globally.<\/p>\n

\nfive high-profile developments over the last fortnight hint that
\nthe North American graphite supply chains are beginning to
\nwork.<\/p>\n\n
\nWestwater Resources signed its first graphite<\/a> offtake agreement
\nwith South Korean battery manufacturer SK On for a 34,000 metric
\nton natural graphite supply from its under-construction Kellyton,
\nAlabama, plant.<\/li>\n
\nPanasonic Energy signed a binding offtake agreement with
\nAustralia's NOVONIX<\/a> to procure synthetic graphite from its
\nTennessee plant.<\/li>\n

\nmining company
\nNouveau Monde Graphite<\/a> (NMG) on Feb. 15. It signed offtake
\nagreements with General Motors (GM) and Panasonic Energy to supply
\n18,000 metric tons of anode active materials (AAM) per annum to

\ncompanies.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\nmaterials, mainly the graphite industry, will grow to 3,100
\nkilotons by 2030, from 790 kilotons in 2023. Particularly in North
\nAmerica, graphite demand will grow at a faster rate, with expected
\nvolumes to reach 620 kilotons in 2030 from 56 kilotons in 2023.<\/p>\n
\nbatteries that utilize materials produced in China at any stage of
\ntheir processing. This stringent requirement has compelled American
\nautomobile and battery manufacturers to rush to secure their
\ngraphite supply from FEOC-qualified sources. However, the
\nfeasibility of decoupling from China remains uncertain due to
\nChina's extensive monopoly over the graphite supply chain, its cost
\ncompetitiveness and the fact that most anode projects in North
\nAmerica are still in the developmental phase,” explains S&P
