EcoGraf Presents Outstanding Economics for HFfree Graphite Project

EcoGraf Limited (WKN A2PW0M / ASX EGR) has published the results of the definitive feasibility study for its HFfree™ battery anode material project — and the figures are compelling. The project achieves a Net Present Value (NPV) of US$282 million after tax, with an Internal Rate of Return (IRR) of 37%. Capital Expenditure (CAPEX) is US$134 million, while operating costs (OPEX) are only US$508 per tonne of product — an industry-leading figure.

Environmentally Friendly HFfree™ Technology

A key feature of the project: EcoGraf relies on its proprietary HFfree™ process, which does not require the use of highly toxic hydrofluoric acid. This not only reduces environmental impact but also improves occupational safety and customer acceptance. The process combines mechanical processing with environmentally friendly chemical purification.

Strategic Importance and Timeline

With this project, EcoGraf aims to meet the growing demand for sustainable battery anode material for the electric vehicle industry. From the start of production, an annual capacity of 20,000 tonnes is planned, with the option for expansion.
According to the current schedule, production is slated to begin in 2027, with the construction phase set to start in 2026.

Conclusion

With low production costs, high margins, and environmentally friendly technology, EcoGraf positions itself as a potential key supplier for the rapidly growing battery materials market. The definitive feasibility study not only confirms the economic viability but also the strategic importance of the project in the global supply chain for electric vehicles.
