Graphjet commences operations in argricultural wase-to-graphite facility

Graphjet announced the start of operations at its first commercial-scale green graphite facility located in the Subang District in Malaysia. This facility is the world’s first commercial-scale plant capable of recycling palm kernel shells, a highly abundant agricultural waste byproduct in Malaysia, to produce battery-grade graphite. The new facility has the capacity to recycle up to 9,000 metric tons of palm kernel shells annually, producing up to 3,000 metric tons of graphite per year. This level of production is sufficient to support battery production for approximately 40,000 electric vehicles (EVs) per year. With a footprint exceeding 91,000 square feet, Graphjet’s facility will support a local workforce of 200 jobs, underscoring the Company’s commitment to job creation and economic growth.
