Black Swan Graphene has completed a production capacity expansion at its Consett, England, facility, lifting annual graphene nanoplatelet output to more than 140 tonnes and adding another measurable step in the sector’s move from pilot lines to industrial-scale manufacturing.
HydroGraph Clean Power has opened a new Austin headquarters, giving the graphene manufacturer a U.S. base for commercial and manufacturing expansion as it advances plans for a future facility that it says could support up to 350 tons of annual output.
HydroGraph Clean Power and Sparc Technologies have signed a letter of intent to test graphene-enhanced protective coatings for steel infrastructure, a step that pushes the material closer to commercial use in harsh industrial environments. The companies say they will conduct longer corrosion trials before deciding whether to negotiate a definitive supply deal.
Asia Broadband says its modular reduced graphene oxide gold recovery plant is nearing completion and will be shipped to its Etzatlan facility in Mexico for commissioning and live testing, a key step toward a planned 50-ton-per-day treatment line.
DARPA has opened a market-research inquiry into graphene production and manufacturing, asking whether the material can be made at scale for load-bearing aerospace structures and what technical barriers still stand in the way.
HydroGraph Clean Power says a peer-reviewed study found its graphene aerosol coating increased copper’s heat transfer coefficient by 152%, a result the company is framing as a scalable route to thermal management for electronics, data centers and other high-power systems.
