Swedish Arena for Graphite
Can Sweden be the best in the world on graphite? Together with you in the mining and extraction industry, manufacturers, recyclers and academia we would like to build a Graphite Centre to ensure a leading position for Sweden in graphite. We therefore invite you to a workshop 25 March to discuss how we can join our efforts for this goal.
Graphite is listed on the EU lists of strategic and critical raw materials and the demand in the world is forecasted to increase by ten percent yearly in the years to come. Graphite is a large part of a lithium-ion battery and therefore an important material in the green transition. There are many areas of use of graphite and the research is intensive to gain new knowledge to build sustainable value chains from an environmental, financial and societal perspective.
RISE has together with Piteå Science Park and H2SE Consulting carried out a feasibility study for “A Swedish arena for graphite connected research, development and innovation to support the build-up and development of a sustainable value chain for graphite in Sweden”. (Please see report in Swedish under 'Event Material' divider below). The report provides additional information of a Graphite Centre. The feasibility study was financed by Region Norrbotten, Piteå kommun, Luleå Kommun and Piteå Science Park.
To strengthen our platform and together with you provide the right conditions for a Graphite Centre, we invite to a workshop to deepen our knowledge about graphite and discuss which tasks would be the most important for the centre.
IThis invite is aimed for all interested in Swedish graphite and graphite development along every step of the value chain and who sees the possibilities to together with others join forces to further develop our common knowledge for Sweden to become world leading in graphite.
The meeting will be held in Swedish and/or English depending on the participants preferences.
Sounds fun?
Register now or at the latest 16 March. Welcome!
