We are pleased to announce that, effective January 1st, 2025, Resonac will integrate the Energy Storage Materials and Tribology (ESTM) business line, currently part of the Mobility Division, into the RESONAC – Graphite Business Unit. ESTM is responsible for the production and commercialization of Battery Anode Materials (BAM) for electric vehicles (EV).
The unification of both businesses will enable us to create significant synergies by gathering together all expertise related to graphite. It will also provide us with greater operational flexibility and open up the potential to utilize a portion of our existing graphitization capacity, currently dedicated to electrodes, for the development of products related to sustainable mobility.
Our CEO and President of RGBU, CESAR CASTIÑEIRA DIAZ, will continue leading this new stage, during which we will work towards the establishment of a graphite HUB that will not only strengthen our leadership in the market but also enable us to expand our presence in the EV sector.
We firmly believe that, to foster a sustainable future, it is essential to promote an organization that is self-sustainable, prioritizing quality, safeguarding the environment and generating long-term value for people and communities.
BAM (Battery Anode Material) is a key product for enhancing battery fast-charging and lifetime. While the graphite represents only 10% of the total battery cost, it is the largest contributor to the CO2 footprint at approximately 50%. At Resonac, we are currently developing a unique, innovative process for the production of graphite for batteries that significantly reduces these emissions, thereby advancing our decarbonization efforts in line with our sustainability program, Sparking Truth.
Only a green battery makes e-mobilty climate-friendly.
