Graphjet在马来西亚开设农业废料转石墨设施
Graphjet opens agricultural waste-to-graphite facility in Malaysia
Kallanish（开阑商务信息咨询）获悉，总部位于马来西亚的Graphjet Technology在马来西亚梳邦区的首个商业规模的“绿色石墨”工厂已经开始运营。
Malaysia-headquartered Graphjet Technology has started operations at its first commercial-scale “green graphite” facility in Malaysia’s Subang district, Kallanish learns.
Graphjet专注于碳基材料，通过回收棕榈核壳（该国一种丰富的农业废料副产品）生产电池级石墨。该公司在周二表示，这座占地超过9.1万平方英尺的工厂是世界上第一座商业规模的绿色石墨工厂。
Graphjet, which focuses on carbon-based materials, produces battery-grade graphite by recycling palm kernel shells – an abundant agricultural waste by-product in the country. The over 91,000-square-foot facility is the world’s first commercial-scale green graphite plant, the company said Tuesday.
该工厂每年可生产3,000吨电池级石墨，公司称每年可为约4万辆电动汽车提供动力。该工厂还将生产硬碳，为Graphjet计划在美国内华达州建造的绿色石墨工厂提供原料。内华达工厂预计年产1万吨石墨，计划于2026年投产。
The facility can produce 3,000 tonnes/year of battery-grade graphite, which the company says could power around 40,000 EVs annually. It will also produce hard carbon to provide feedstock to Graphjet’s planned green graphite facility in Nevada, US. The Nevada plant is expected to produce 10,000 t/y of graphite, with first production targeted in 2026.
该公司称已收到第一批棕榈核壳，并开始向客户运送绿色石墨产品样品。
The company says it has received the first shipment of palm kernel shells, and begun shipping green graphite product samples to its customers.
Graphjet首席执行官兼联合创始人Aiden Lee表示：“Graphjet团队在执行我们成为全球绿色石墨可靠供应商的战略和愿景方面迈出了具有里程碑意义的一步。随着该工厂的投产，Graphjet现在是中国以外绿色石墨生产领域的主要参与者，因为公司拥有中国以外最大的生产能力。”
“The Graphjet team has achieved a monumental step towards the execution of our strategy and vision to become a reliable supplier of green graphite globally,” comments Aiden Lee, ceo and co-founder of Graphjet. “With this facility online, Graphjet is now the primary player in green graphite production outside of China, as the company has the largest production capacity ex-China.”
这位负责人补充说，随着该设施投入使用，Graphjet预计将在2025财政年度创造收入。
With the facility’s commissioning, Graphjet expects to generate revenue by FY 2025, the executive adds.
该公司声称其技术“具有可持续性和成本效益”，是世界上碳足迹“最低”的石墨生产工艺。该公司称，每生产一公斤石墨，Graphjet产生的二氧化碳排放量为2.95千克，而生产天然石墨产生的二氧化碳排放量为16.8千克，在中国生产合成石墨产生的二氧化碳排放量为17千克。
The company claims its technology is “sustainable and cost-effective” and has the “lowest” carbon footprint of any graphite production process in the world. For every kilogram of graphite produced, Graphjet produces 2.95 kg of CO2 emissions, compared to 16.8 kg of CO2 emissions from producing natural graphite, and 17 kg of CO2 emissions from synthetic graphite production in China, it says.
有几家公司正在利用生物质生产石墨，以解决开采或合成石墨生产所面临的供应链和可持续性挑战。其中包括CarbonScape，该公司在新西兰拥有一家试点工厂，利用木屑等“可持续”生物质生产石墨。该公司正计划在芬兰Stora Enso拥有的场地上新建一家示范工厂，后者是一家开发生物基阳极的芬兰公司。
Several companies are involved in producing graphite from biomass, in a bid to address the supply chain and sustainability challenges of mined or synthetic graphite production. This includes CarbonScape, which has a pilot plant in New Zealand that produces graphite from “sustainable” biomass, such as woodchip. It is planning a new demo plant in Finland, at a site owned by Stora Enso, a Finnish firm developing bio-based anodes.
