Graphene Has Been Called “The Carbon Wonder Product” – But What Exactly Is It?
Graphene is the building block of graphite, a layer of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal lattice. It is the thinnest material known to man.
Graphene is typically a two-dimensional form of carbon, one or few atoms thick and it forms the fundamental building block for few layered and multi-layered graphene.
“Graphene – the new wonder metal…more solid than steel and a better conductor than copper.”
“It will help decarbonize industry, produce greener concrete and make hydrogen”
“Graphene is the strongest material ever discovered…the super material reinforcing rinks, cars and buildings”
Graphene Manufacturing Group’s Joint Development Agreement with Rio Tinto
In May 2023, the company announced that GMG and Rio Tinto have signed a binding Joint Development Agreement (“JDA”) with the goal of accelerating the development and application of GMG’s Graphene Aluminium-Ion batteries in the mining and minerals industry. Rio Tinto will contribute technical and operational performance criteria and A$6 million, in exchange for preferential access rights.
Rio Tinto has put the net zero transition at the heart of its business strategy: combining investments in commodities that enable the energy transition with actions to decarbonise their operations and value chains. The JDA seeks to support the accelerated development of GMG’s Graphene Aluminium-Ion Batteries for use in heavy mobile equipment and grid energy storage applications in the mining and mineral industry.
The JDA builds on the existing collaboration for Rio Tinto to explore the use of GMG’s Energy Saving and Energy Storage solutions (see Company announcement on 18 May 2022). This JDA is effective immediately and is expected to last 2 years with payments spread over the term of the agreement. The JDA aims to co-develop GMG’s Graphene Aluminium-Ion battery pouch cell into an initial battery pack/module proof of concept.
Rio Tinto will seek to involve Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM), including Heavy Mobile Equipment OEMs, to work with GMG and Rio Tinto to align the battery pack development with end use requirements.
Success could see performance enhancements for Rio Tinto, including faster charging and longer-life batteries for heavy mobile equipment and grid energy storage, as well as supporting Rio Tinto’s decarbonisation ambitions.
GMG will retain ownership of the intellectual property of the GMG Graphene Aluminium Ion Battery Pouch Cell and Battery Pack. On successful completion of the joint project, Rio Tinto would have the right to procure and use the batteries in their operations.
