EAM & Phillips 66 Team Up for U.S. EV Battery Supply Chain
Epsilon Advanced Materials (EAM) has teamed up with Phillips 66 to secure a steady supply of Green and Calcined Needle Coke. This collaboration aims to support EAM's battery anode production in North Carolina, catering to the growing U.S. EV and energy storage markets.
Vikram Handa, EAM's Managing Director, hailed the partnership as a significant stride towards establishing a secure and sustainable battery materials supply chain in the U.S. The alliance between EAM and Phillips 66 aims to bolster the U.S. electric vehicle (EV) and energy storage system (ESS) battery supply chain.
EAM's new 30,000-tonne graphite active anode material facility in North Carolina is set to commence operations in 2027, with plans to double its capacity to 60,000 tonnes by 2030. Phillips 66 will supply the necessary Green and Calcined Needle Coke from its Lake Charles, Louisiana refinery to EAM for manufacturing synthetic graphite anodes.
Once fully operational, the North Carolina plant is expected to produce enough graphite active anode material to power approximately one million electric vehicles annually. This strategic alliance between EAM and Phillips 66 is poised to significantly strengthen the U.S. battery supply chain, supporting the growing demand for electric vehicles and energy storage systems.
