The importance of Natural Graphite in emerging technologies and global sustainability

History has been made by the search & control of critical raw materials required to support emerging transformative technologies. The copper age, bronze age, iron age, coal, steel & oil have led to the rise of empires & harrowing global conflict. We now enter a new age – where new critical minerals are required for new technologies & even the continued survival of our planet. It is against this background that natural graphite is rising in global importance.

Natural graphite is not a simple commodity with simple attributes and simple demand & supply drivers. A more nuanced understanding of both the physical properties of the different graphite concentrates available & the end use market dynamics is necessary to properly understand where the future of graphite lies. Natural graphite is able to withstand very high temperatures with a high melting point; it is stable at these high temperatures; it is lightweight; easy to machine; has high electrical conductivity; is bio-inert and it is corrosion-resistant.

Tirupati Graphite PLC (LON:TGR) is a fully integrated specialist graphite and graphene producer, with operations in Madagascar and India. The Company is delivering on this strategy by being fully integrated from mine to graphene. Its global multi-location operations include primary mining and processing in Madagascar, hi-tech graphite processing in India to produce specialty graphite, and a state-of-art graphene and technology R&D center to be established in India.
