Would think that demand for graphite would be favourably impacted by lowering the cost to produce graphene from high quality graphite... as announced by OSAKA GAS in the last few days... halving the cost of manufacture from $164/ kilo to $82.39/k !
.."Japan’s New Energy and Industrial Technology Development estimates that the global market for graphene is estimated at approximately $11 million worldwide and the reduced price could potentially take the growth forward to $840 million by 2030."..
Lowering the cost obviously makes it more commercially attractive to incorporate in current composites and find new uses that are commercially feasible.
