BioGraf
We offer a sustainable, scalable and cost-effective biographite solution for the metal industry, the battery industry and carbon material manufacturers.
New technology for producing high-quality graphite from bio-based raw materials
High-quality graphite can be produced from forest industry side streams – particularly lignin. Biograf Oy has developed an industrial-scale technology that enables sustainable, competitive and local graphite production. Our solution also makes it possible to utilize recycled graphite and other carbon-based materials.
Lignin is one of the largest renewable carbon resources on Earth – and a long-underutilized material. In recent years, interest in the extraction and refinement of lignin has grown significantly, as it has increasingly been recognized as a valuable feedstock for bio-based carbon materials, chemicals, and advanced material applications, including biochar and biographite materials.
Our solution addresses the industry’s dependence on fossil resources and China by enabling the local and environmentally sustainable production of graphite and carbon products.
What:
High-quality graphite and carbon products from lignin.
Biograf Oy’s patented technology enables the cost-effective production of high-quality graphite for use in biochar and biographite materials. Our solution is based on locally sourced raw materials, environmental sustainability, and high process efficiency.
To whom:
For the metal industry, the battery industry, and material manufacturers.
We provide a solution for the cost-effective production of bio-based, high-purity graphite for industrial applications. Our technology supports the development of fossil-free supply chains, reduces dependence on China, and delivers significant benefits in terms of CO₂ emissions and emissions trading—particularly for the metal industry.
How:
A high-efficiency thermal process.
The method we have developed is based on high-temperature thermal treatment, enabling the rapid production of graphite with high efficiency compared to existing methods. The process is designed to integrate into industrial production environments and to ensure a competitive and reliable supply of bio-based raw materials to meet the growing demand for carbon materials.
Our new technology is a high-profile investment in the future
Bio-based raw materials are emerging as the new standard for the battery and metal industries.
Lignin is one of the world’s largest renewable carbon reserves and provides an exceptionally scalable raw material base for bio-based carbon materials.
Local biomass-based raw material production creates strategic autonomy for Europe and reduces dependence on China’s dominance in the graphite market.
Our process enables the fast, clean, and cost-effective production of graphite—precisely where industrial demand is growing.
Graphite is used, among other applications:
- In the metal industry as a reducing agent and electrode material
- As an anode material for lithium-, sodium- and potassium-ion batteries
- In numerous high-tech applications
Our solution transforms a low-value side stream into a strategically important raw material.
