Altech Chemicals: Silicon in Graphite Anodes for Higher Energy Density Batteries

Altech Chemicals has also purchased land in Germany for its pilot plant to manufacture commercial samples of its patented Silumina AnodesTM product to introduce to the European market as part of the qualification process. In addition, the Company has completed a pre-feasibility study to construct a facility capable of manufacturing 10,000 tonnes per annum (TPA) of Silumina AnodesTM battery material. The pre-feasibility study indicated robust economics including an NPV of US$507M and a favorable internal rate of return of 40 percent, with a low capital cost of just US$95M.
