(TSXV: GPH; OTCQX: GPHOF) (“Graphite One” or the “Company”) has received the final air permit from the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (“Ohio EPA”) for Phase 1 of its planned active anode material (“AAM”) facility in Conneaut, Ohio (the “Ohio Facility”), a 10,000 tpy blending and coating plant (the “Phase 1 Plant”). The Air Pollution Permit-to-Install and Operate, Permit No. P0140891 (the “Air Permit” or “PTIO”), was issued to Graphite One (Ohio) Inc.
“Receiving the final Ohio Air Permit is an important step toward establishing a domestic synthetic anode material supply chain,” said Anthony Huston, President and Chief Executive Officer. “This approval advances Phase 1 Plant toward first revenue and supports our goal of becoming the first U.S. company commercially producing synthetic graphite anode material.”
The Ohio Air Permitis the key environmental permit required to build and run the Phase 1 Plant, and the one permit the Company has considers the most demanding to receive. AAM is the primary material in the anode of lithium-ion batteries that power electric vehicles and all types of grid energy storage. The Company believes the Phase 1 Plant will be the first of its kind in the U.S..
