Natural graphite active anode material processing facility in the UK

Tees Valley Graphite Limited (TVG) is developing the UK’s first natural graphite active anode material (“AAM”) processing facility at the ‘plug-and-play’ Wilton International Chemicals Park within the Teesside Freeport, UK.

The world class facility will produce 20,000 tonnes of AAM for sale into cell manufacturers and OEMs located in the UK and European battery markets, with the potential to expand to 60,000 tonnes per annum, making it one of the world’s largest AAM facilities.

TVG’s facility will benefit from:

• World-class chemicals park location within the Teesside Freeport.
  
  
• Close proximity to ‘Premium’ end-users throughout Europe.
  
  
• Access to low-carbon offshore wind power via UK Government backed synthetic PPA providing 100% certified green low-cost energy.
  
  
• UK’s long heritage as a leader in the chemicals industry.
  
  
• Fast-track planning and approvals using a proven model.
  
  
• Lower engineering and design risk, pre-construction and operating costs by replicating the technology and design used at Syrah’s Vidalia AAM facility in Louisiana, United States.
  
  
• Future-proofing compliance with EU & UK REACH regulations, EU Battery Passport and life cycle-based sustainability standards and the guidelines of global automakers.
