Rain Industries Subsidiary and Green Graphite Technologies Partner on NGen Grant for Sustainable Battery Material Solutions
AI Summary
Rain Carbon Canada Inc., a subsidiary of Rain Industries Limited, and Green Graphite Technologies Inc. have partnered under the Sustainable Manufacturing Challenge grant from Next Generation Manufacturing Canada (NGen) to advance the development of sustainable graphite anode active materials (GAAMs) for lithium-ion batteries (LiBs). The partnership aims to establish a circular supply chain for critical battery materials to support Canada’s growing zero-emission market.
Key Highlights
- The partnership aims to contribute to the development of a circular economy for battery materials, reducing dependence on newly mined resources and mitigating environmental impact.
- Rain Carbon will lead the conversion of feedstock materials through its LIONCOAT® carbon precursor materials and application process technology.
- GGT will contribute its proprietary GraphPure™ and GraphRenew™ purification technologies.
- The partnership could result in two new graphite product lines by 2030, developed through manufacturing processes designed to reduce process waste, increase production efficiency and reduce carbon footprint.
- The project aims to build a sustainable Canadian battery supply chain and to create new direct and indirect employment opportunities across the battery materials sector.
