Graphite is used as anode material in lithium-ion batteries and is a critical raw material for the energy transition. We want to bring both mining and processing of graphite into the EU, where we have the technologies, know-how, and regulatory frameworks to support the highest sustainability standards.

The demand for critical minerals is forecast to overtake supply significantly in the near future, potentially putting the green energy transition at risk. The EU relies on imports and needs to secure local, sustainable supply for the European battery value chain.
​
Akku Minerals Oy was set up to address this problem by searching for high-quality clean energy minerals for the EU that can be explored, extracted and processed sustainably.
