Powering lithium-ion batteries and securing supply with high-performing, cost-effective graphite
Green Graphite Technologies
Who We Are
Green Graphite Technologies (GGT) is commercializing its cost-effective and sustainable graphite processing platform to supply high-performance battery-grade graphite for electric vehicles (EVs). The company transforms mined and recycled graphite into high-purity spherical graphite, leveraging a proprietary purification process with 50% lower operating costs and dramatically lower environmental impact. Currently operating pilot-scale systems, GGT aims to scale to 50 kg/hour capacity by 2027 and have its first commercial facility operational in North America by 2029, becoming a key supplier in North America’s electrification value chain.
Patented Purification Processes
GraphPure™ is a sustainable, cost effective, and proven process to battery-grade graphite from mined natural flake graphite, while GraphRenew™ and GraphRestore™ purify graphite from secondary sources, including recycled LiB graphite and battery manufacturing scrap.
Modular Approach
Our 20,000 tonne per annum modular technology package will enable rapid, cost-effective production LiB-grade graphite from a domestic supplier, critical to the value chain.
Service & Support
Our pilot plant facility allows us to test your graphite to give you confidence in our technical solutions.
New Beginnings
Our Founders
Our story begins with Kevin Watson, a PhD metallurgist with 35 years of experience in managing metallurgical projects. He recognized a massive opportunity to address the supply gap of high-purity LiB grade graphite. Along with Kingston Process Metallurgy’s (KPM) founders, they developed and patented a solution together called GraphPure™.
Kevin then approached Gillian Holcroft, a long-time friend and former colleague, to get involved. Gillian is a Chemical Engineer with over 30 years of experience in technology development and commercialization. Naturally, she was eager to be part of this effort as she quickly recognized the opportunity, stating,
“It’s not often that you have a game changing, environmentally friendly technology where the economics, supply and market all line up”
With Gillian’s expertise in commercialization and Kevin’s experience in project management, they built a strong team of strategic partnerships together with over 150 years of unique and complementary experience between them.
Our Carbon Neutral Plan
Paving The Way For Ecological Processing
With Lithium-ion batteries on the rise, the need for high purity graphite rises with it. There is currently no commercial-scale NFG graphite purification plants operating outside of China. The methods used in China have safety concerns, are detrimental to the environment, and expensive to operate.
That’s why we came up with GraphPure™ and GraphRenew™ – low-cost, modular, environmentally friendly technologies that can be rapidly adopted around the globe.
