Status
Operational: Phase 1 inaugurated August 2024
Product: Coated spherical graphite (AAM). Capacity: 80 kt/yr (Phase 1 nameplate; phase 2 to 160 kt).
BTR plant in Kendal Industrial Park; outside China but Chinese-owned, so still FEOC-exposed for US credits.

In context
Where it fits
Listed in Anode Active Materials. Anode plants are compared on route (natural or synthetic graphite, silicon, hard carbon), the step they own (mining, graphitization, spheroidizing, coating), capacity and cell qualification; purification, graphitization and coating are the bottlenecks, not graphite itself.
