Germany has a robust industrial base with a significant presence in the automotive, energy, and manufacturing sectors, which underlines the critical role played by graphite in its economy. The graphite market in Germany is evolving with an increasing focus on sustainability and innovation, backed by partnerships aimed at reducing carbon footprints. In July 2024, BASF collaborated with Graphite Kropfmuhl, a subsidiary of AMG Critical Materials N.V. In this partnership, BASF supplies renewable energy certificates (Guarantees of Origin) to Graphit Kropfmühl's production site in Hauzenberg, Germany. This initiative is designed to reduce the product carbon footprint (PCF) of the graphite produced at these sites by at least 25%. This sustainable graphite would then be used as a raw material to produce BASF's lower-PCF Neopor variant, a key material for energy-efficient insulation. This collaboration highlights Germany's leadership in integrating sustainable practices into industrial production and reflects the growing importance of environmentally conscious manufacturing in the global graphite market.
