Graphene Manufacturing Group starts up Gen 2.0 graphene production plant

Graphene Manufacturing Group starts up Gen 2.0 graphene production plant Proactive uses images sourced from Shutterstock Graphene Manufacturing Group Ltd (TSX-V:GMG, OTCQX:GMGMF) has completed construction and started up its Generation 2.0 Graphene Manufacturing Technology Plant, a new production facility designed to increase the company's graphene manufacturing capacity.

The company said the plant was brought online on schedule before the end of June 2026. Once the remaining work is completed and the facility is fully optimized, the plant is expected to produce up to 10 tonnes of graphene annually. GMG said the total capital cost for the project is expected to be at or below its estimated budget of AU$2.

3 million by the time the project is completed at the end of 2026. The company added that project costs remain under budget so far. According to GMG, work scheduled for completion by the end of September includes optimizing graphene quality, production volumes and graphene powder packaging.

By the end of December, the company expects to complete installation of a self-power generation system. The company said the Gen 2.0 Plant is expected to operate largely using its own energy generation system, which is planned to combine renewable energy sources, energy storage and hydrogen-enriched natural gas supplied through tail-gas power generation.

GMG CEO Craig Nicol said bringing the second-generation production facility online marks a milestone for the company and is expected to significantly increase graphene output to support demand across battery, coatings, lubricant additives and other graphene products. "We are now focused on completing the optimisation of graphene quality and production volumes, as well as commissioning our self-powered energy systems and powder packing capabilities," Nicol said in a statement. "With this plant, we are not only scaling output but also advancing our vision of highly efficient graphene manufacturing that can be replicated and deployed globally."

GMG chairman Jack Perkowski said the project supports the company's strategy of developing scalable graphene production technology while maintaining project timelines and costs. "As we complete the remaining optimization work and bring the plant's renewable and hydrogen-enriched energy systems fully online, we expect this facility to demonstrate both the commercial and environmental benefits of GMG's proprietary plasma-based graphene manufacturing process," Perkowski said. "We believe this strengthens our platform for long-term value creation for shareholders, customers, and partners."
