Rain Carbon, Green Graphite Partner on Sustainable Battery Materials

22 Oct 2025 CW Team

Hamilton, Canada, October 15, 2025 – Rain Carbon Canada Inc. (RAIN) and Green Graphite Technologies Inc. (GGT) have joined hands under the Sustainable Manufacturing Challenge grant from Next Generation Manufacturing Canada (NGen) to develop sustainable graphite anode active materials (GAAMs) for lithium-ion batteries. The initiative seeks to establish a circular supply chain for critical battery materials to support Canada’s transition towards a zero-emission economy.

With the country’s electric vehicle fleet projected to grow from 480,000 in 2024 to 21 million by 2040, both companies aim to reduce reliance on newly mined graphite through innovative recycling, purification, and processing technologies. Rain Carbon will leverage its LIONCOAT® carbon precursor materials, while GGT will contribute its proprietary GraphPure™ and GraphRenew™ purification technologies.

Pilot-scale production and testing will take place at Rain Carbon’s Technology Innovation Centre in Hamilton, supported by GGT’s pilot facilities in Kingston and Montreal. By 2030, the project expects to create two new graphite product lines designed to minimise waste, boost production efficiency, and cut carbon emissions—fostering new IP creation and employment opportunities in Canada’s battery materials ecosystem.

Rain Carbon, a subsidiary of Rain Carbon Inc., is a global supplier of carbon-based and chemical products used across essential industries. Green Graphite Technologies, headquartered in Montreal, is advancing sustainable, low-cost purification technologies to produce battery-grade graphite for North America’s gigafactories.
