svm and the green future, page-45

I found an old thread with information about graphite. We predicted an increase in graphite consumption in 2017. This has been confirmed.

China is the largest producer (still) of graphite:


Due to new environmental regulations this will change in the future. Many graphite mines have to close.

Graphite market continuously shaped by pollution controls:

China’s continued crackdown on industrial pollution has had a widespread effect on the graphite industry, restricting supply and increasing prices of both natural and synthetic graphite through 2018 and H1 2019, as well as changing demand dynamics as a result of environmentally-led improvements to Chinese steelmaking. Now we see supply closures beginning to happen in India too. Looking forward, the introduction of stricter controls on pollution from global shipping is also expected to affect the availability of raw material for synthetic production over the next decade. And China isn’t yet done with its industry overhauls

Many countries have classified graphite as a critical raw material. The USA, as the largest consumer of graphite, has recently confirmed this again.

U.S. outlines critical mineral strategy

Rare earth elements, cobalt, graphite, titanium and tungsten are among the commodities on the criticality list.

Graphite demand will continue to rise. At least this is what all experts agree on.



We know that SVM can supply the battery market and the traditional market with their graphite. One look at the graph says it all. The outlook is positive for SVM.

All no new information, but why should one not repeat positive prospects from time to time​
