97 | SKI US, Inc. | Battery Materials Processing and Battery Manufacturing Recycling | BIL 40207.c | FOA | Commercial Scale Continuous Heat Treatment (CHT) Process for Next Generation Synthetic Graphite Production | SKI US, Inc., (dba Birla Carbon) is proposing to strengthen the U.S. battery supply chain with a next generation synthetic graphite domestic continuous production facility that will not use any feedstock material sourced from an entity that would be designated a foreign entity of concern (FEOC). This new production site would supply approximately 25,000 tonnes of synthetic graphite annually to meet the projected U.S. electric vehicle (EV) and energy storage market demand. It is evident the need exists for expanded domestic capacity using improved technologies such as the proposed Birla Carbon process. In contrast, the traditional Acheson process (used to produce more than 90% of world’s synthetic graphite in China) relies on a toxic, hazardous, and energy-intensive antiquated batch process that would require significant additional investments to comply with U.S. environmental requirements, rendering that technology not economically viable for the domestic EV battery market. The proposed Birla Carbon facility would use a novel continuous process to produce synthetic graphite that has been shown to provide up to a 4% improvement in cell energy and power density over synthetic graphite produced from the Acheson batch process. Birla Carbon’s proprietary process for producing battery-grade graphite reduces by 17% the energy needed for manufacturing, decreases carbon dioxide emissions by 60%, and improves worker safety by limiting chemical exposures. Birla Carbon’s proof-of-concept 200 ton per year plant has already demonstrated that their novel process for graphitizing needle coke produces synthetic graphite that meets or exceeds performance requirements for high-performance fast-charging batteries. The addition of this novel technology to the U.S. supply chain would reduce our dependence on FEOCs and would diversify a vulnerable segment of the battery sector’s critical minerals. | Project Labor Agreement (PLA) | Training, Workforce Supports (Transport, Childcare, Other) | This project is estimated to create hundreds of full-time and construction jobs.
