what happened

International Graphite Ltd and Alkeemia are advancing a joint graphite processing hub at Porto Marghera, Italy, according to Reuters.

At the same time, the European Union has selected the Alkeemia PureGraph project as a critical minerals project under the Critical Raw Materials Act (CRMA).

why it matters

Critical project status under the CRMA signals EU attention to domestic raw material supply chains. For graphite companies this matters because graphite is used in battery production, and European processing reduces reliance on outside suppliers.
