NORWAY IS THE FASTEST GROWING ADOPTER OF EVs IN THE WORLD
Europe is set to become the second largest region for installed GWh capacity. Two sites in Europe are scheduled to produce in excess of 70GWh with total installed capacity forecasted to be 274 GWh by 2028. At 100% utilisation that equates to Graphite Anode demand of 329,000 tonnes. As at 2018 the current global demand was predicted as ~180,000 tonnes. Based on similar analysis global graphite anode demand could reach as high as 2.05m tonnes[(2) ] by 2028.
