North America's First Large-Scale Synthetic Graphite Plant

planned

Vianode, a Norwegian producer of advanced battery materials, plans to establish its first large-scale production facility for low-emission synthetic anode graphite in Ontario, Canada. The project is part of the G7 Critical Minerals Production Alliance and aims to reinforce North America's supply of critical materials vital to electric vehicles, defence systems, and advanced manufacturing. The phased investment will start with over CAD 2 billion and aims to produce up to 150,000 tons of synthetic graphite annually, creating around 300 skilled jobs initially and scaling up to nearly 1,000 by 2028.
