< 1,5 %
Energy efficiency
175 mvh
Production output
> 70%
Environmental Impact
- The Role of GraphiteOften overlooked, graphite is the primary anode material in most commercial lithium-ion battery
Growing applications for CSPG
- ~18-25%Rapid EV adoption globally, policy incentives, automaker investments
- ~3-5%Steady demand for smartphones, laptops, wearables
- ~20-30%Growing renewable integration, grid balancing, demand for large-scale energy storage
- ~4-8%Aerospace, defence, medical devices; increasing application diversity
- 2025 Global Anode IndustryChina dominates downstream EV battery supply chain, a trend which is unlikely to change
THE CHALLENGE:
Most lack the technology, partners and skills to CSPG quality requirements
HIGH COSTS
EXTENDED QUALIFICATION TIMELINE
NO BINDING OFFTAKES IN PLACE
Fast-Tracking Towards Building Full-Scale CSPG Plant
Construction of an industrial complex for the production of high-purity synthetic graphite (anode material) for electric vehicle batteries and energy storage systems
- Kazakhstan Refinery Petroleum Coke
- Coke production volume ≥150,000 tons/year at present, after reconstruction 360,000 tons/year
- Confirmed laboratory parameters (low ash content, low sulfur)
- 124,740 tons SGP per annum
- 122,650 tons CSPG per annum
CSPG: Coated Spherical Graphite Powder
- Electric Vehicles (EV)
- Energy Storage Systems (ESS)
- Potential export markets: EU, USA, Asia
