Green Graphite Technologies
Who We Are
Green Graphite Technologies (GGT) is commercializing a breakthrough, cost-effective and sustainable graphite purification technology that transforms mined and recycled graphite into high-performance, battery-grade material for electric vehicles (EVs), battery energy storage systems (BESS) and military applications. Its proprietary, patented purification process delivers compelling economics and environmental advantages over conventional technology, with 55% lower operating costs and an 82% lower carbon footprint.
Having successfully demonstrated its technology at a continuous demonstration-plant scale (100 kg/day), along with active gigafactory engagement, GGT is now raising US$11 million to build a 1,000-tonne-per-year pre-commercial facility. This revenue-generating plant will supply battery-grade graphite to battery cell manufacturers for product qualification, paving the way for commercial offtake agreements and GGT's first full-scale commercial facility targeted for 2030.
GGT is positioned to become a key technology-enabled supplier in the development of a secure, sustainable North American and European battery supply 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 12,000 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.
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.

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 GraphRestore™ – low-cost, modular, environmentally friendly technologies that can be rapidly adopted around the globe.
