Swedish business Talga Team (ASX: TLG) has launched Talnode-R, a graphite anode made from recycled lithium-ion battery waste.
The technology intends to enhance the battery supply chain by recovering graphite from gigafactory scrap and end-of-life electrical lorry (EV) batteries.
Talga utilizes a hydrometallurgical procedure to cleanse retrieved graphite to 99.95%, which matches the efficiency of brand-new artificial graphite. Graphite, which can represent as much as half the quantity of a lithium-ion battery, has actually long been forgotten by recyclers, that have actually typically concentrated on cathode steels. With an impending graphite shortage over the following years, European self-sufficiency is ending up being crucial.
President Martin Phillips stated that Talnode-R matches the business’s high-power all-natural graphite anode manufacturing and makes it possible for international development with modular innovation.
Battery reusing market information from market knowledge company Rho-Motion reveals that international lithium-ion battery pre-treatment ability got to 3.5 million tonnes in the very first fifty percent of 2025, with graphite comprising approximately 10– 15% of that mass.
Offered scrap feedstock for reusing climbed 40% year-on-year, driven primarily by manufacturing scrap, that made up majority of the boost. Europe’s scrap quantity climbed up 38%, while The United States and Canada’s climbed 49%.
The statement comes as Europe’s gigafactory ability ranges up. EU need for graphite anodes is forecasted to go beyond 500,000 tonnes each year by 2030, or 12 times the 2020 number, up from 30,000 tonnes in 2023.
With China regulating concerning 84% of international graphite handling ability, each 10,000 tonnes of European-produced graphite might reduce the EU’s dependence on international crucial minerals by 7%
Talga is additionally progressing its Nunasvaara South graphite mine in north Sweden.
