Revenue model

1. Technology Licensing: Licensing GraphPure technology to battery manufacturers and mining companies for deployment at their facilities. Royalty-based revenue model with upfront licensing fees and ongoing per-kilogram royalties.
2. Company-Operated Facilities: Operating company-owned purification facilities to process graphite concentrate and sell finished battery-grade graphite directly to customers. Vertical integration strategy for margin capture.
3. Government Grants: Non-dilutive funding from government programs including NGen, OVIN, and Natural Resources Canada supporting R&D and pilot operations during pre-commercial phase.

Core offering

Green Graphite Technologies (GGT) develops and commercializes proprietary graphite purification processes that transform mined natural flake graphite and recycled graphite into high-purity (99.95%+) battery-grade graphite for lithium-ion batteries. Its three technology platforms — GraphPure™, GraphRenew™, and GraphRestore™ — use carbochloration and electrochemical/hydrometallurgical methods to deliver 50% lower operating costs and 82% lower carbon footprint than conventional thermal/HF purification. GGT plans to deploy a 20,000 tonne-per-annum modular technology package, with its first commercial North American facility targeted for 2029.

Product overview

Green Graphite Technologies (GGT) offers a suite of three proprietary graphite purification technologies designed to address the supply gap of high-purity battery-grade graphite for lithium-ion batteries in electric vehicles and energy storage. The core platform consists of GraphPure™ — a patented carbochloration process for transforming mined natural flake graphite into LiB-grade graphite — alongside two complementary secondary-source purification technologies: GraphRenew™ (for recycled end-of-life LiB graphite) and GraphRestore™ (for battery manufacturing scrap). Together, the three technologies enable GGT to serve the full graphite supply chain from mined and recycled sources, leveraging a modular 20,000 tonne per annum technology package, with pilot-scale systems currently operational and a first commercial facility planned for North America by 2029.
