Canadian Miner to Start Graphite Project in Challenge to China Dominance The drive to develop graphite mines in Canada is gaining momentum as the country seeks to challenge China's long standing dominance in the market.
Motivated by both a desire to break China's stranglehold on the industry and recognition of graphite's critical role in emerging technologies, Canadian miners are pushing forward with new projects.
Graphite is a key component in lithium ion batteries, which power electric vehicles and store energy for wind turbines and other renewable energy systems.
