GR4FITE3

Graphite Resilience for lithium-Ion battery anodes through a sustainable European End-to-End supply chain

Innovative graphite products for lithium-ion battery anodes

Graphite serves as the common choice for the anode in lithium-ion batteries. The EU-funded GR4FITE3 project aims to establish a sustainable end-to-end supply chain for European industrial graphite and carbon products. This is specifically targeted towards anode active materials used in lithium-ion batteries designed for electric vehicles and power sources like solar and wind farms. The supply chain encompasses responsible mining, energy efficient upgrading, and the incorporation of recycled and synthetic graphite, as well as silicon nanoparticles. These elements combine to form a distinctive anode active material. The consortium is composed of 10 partner organisations spanning six European countries, bridging the gap between industry and academia. The beneficiaries of this endeavor are an electric bus manufacturer and a utility grid developer.
