Graphjet Technology has commenced operations at its first commercial-scale green graphite facility in Subang, Malaysia, marking a significant milestone in sustainable graphite production. This facility, the first of its kind globally, utilizes palm kernel shells—an abundant agricultural waste product—to produce up to 3,000 metric tons of battery-grade graphite annually, sufficient to power approximately 40,000 electric vehicles. The facility spans over 91,000 square feet and is expected to create around 200 jobs. Graphjet also plans to produce hard carbon at this site for its upcoming facility in Nevada, which aims to produce 10,000 metric tons of graphite annually by 2026. The company's innovative technology is touted as having the lowest carbon footprint in graphite production, emitting only 2.95 kg of CO2 per kilogram of graphite produced.
