Under the agreement, Alkeemia will hold 51% of the joint venture and IG6 49%, with profits shared equally between the parties.

The development plan targets an initial graphite processing capacity of 10,000 tonnes per annum, expanding to approximately 15,000 tonnes annually within three yearsConstruction is planned to begin in Q3 2026, while initial production is targeted for H2 2027, pending approval of the Final Investment Decision. Alkeemia will contribute existing industrial infrastructure, including permitting, logistics, laboratories, warehousing, waste management systems and graphite purification facilities, positioning the project as a capital-efficient and low-operating-cost processing platform.

IG6 highlighted that the partnership accelerates Europe’s push toward supply chain independence in battery and critical raw materials while supporting near-term revenue generation through downstream graphite processing. Funding initiatives are currently progressing across project finance, EU critical minerals programs and strategic equity partnerships.
