Graphene Manufacturing Group (GMGMF) has announced significant progress in developing its Graphene Aluminium-Ion Battery technology. The company has signed a service contract with the Battery Innovation Center (BIC) of Indiana to support the next development phase, avoiding an estimated AU$10 million in pilot plant costs.
The company reached a 1000 mAh battery cell capacity milestone in February 2024 and is currently optimizing the pouch cell electrochemistry. The battery technology remains at Battery Technology Readiness Level 4, with plans to progress to levels 7 and 8 through BIC collaboration.
The G+AI Battery development includes weekly optimization sprints focusing on various components: graphene cathode, aluminum foil anode, electrolyte, and separator. Over 250 scientific experiments and nearly 1000 individual pouch cells have been produced since 2023. The company has received interest from global companies across various sectors, including Rio Tinto, for potential applications.
Graphene Manufacturing Group (GMGMF) has announced breakthrough results for its G® Lubricant, a graphene-based additive for diesel and gasoline engines. Testing conducted over four years and verified by The University of Queensland shows the product can increase fuel efficiency by up to 8.4% in diesel engines.
The G® Lubricant uses a minimal graphene concentration of approximately 1:10,000 when mixed with engine oil, making it safe for all internal combustion engines. GMG plans to begin direct marketing to fleet owners starting in Australia from April 2025, with global expansion to follow.
Based on global diesel fuel sales of US$1.4 trillion annually, GMG estimates a potential market for G® Lubricant of US$1.2 billion per year, assuming pricing at 10% of realized fuel savings. The company is currently preparing packaging and marketing materials for commercial launch.
Graphene Manufacturing Group (GMGMF) has announced progress in the commercialization of THERMAL-XR®, their graphene-based coating for heat sinks in electronics. Third-party verified modeling shows that THERMAL-XR® coating can reduce heat sink size by up to 39% while maintaining equivalent thermal performance.
The coating demonstrates a 23% reduction in maximum temperature reached (62°C vs 80°C) compared to uncoated heat sinks of equal size. With projected global PCB production reaching 530 million square meters by 2030, and 5.2 billion units requiring heat sinks, the potential market for THERMAL-XR® could reach 26.5 million liters annually by 2030, assuming 0.1% market penetration.
GMG's THERMAL-XR® has been awarded 'Product of the Year' at the AIRAH 2024 Awards in Melbourne, Australia. The awards ceremony, which took place on November 21st, 2024, celebrates outstanding achievements in Australia's HVAC&R building services industry. Craig Nicol, GMG's Managing Director and CEO, expressed honor at the recognition, highlighting the company's commitment to advancing energy efficiency and sustainability in the HVAC industry.
