KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 16 (Bernama) -- Graphjet Technology Sdn Bhd (“Graphjet Technology”), a pioneer in sustainable green graphite technology, proudly announces its impactful participation in the prestigious Future Minerals Forum 2024 held in Riyadh from 9 to 11 January 2024. The Forum, a globally recognised gathering of government ministers, industry leaders, and investors, addressed the theme of "Creating Resilient And Responsible Mineral Value Chains In Africa, Western And Central Asia” and discussed the future of critical minerals and sustainability.

Aiden Lee Ping Wei, the CEO and Co-founder of Graphjet Technology, made a significant contribution to a high-level panel discussion at the Future Minerals Forum 2024 in Riyadh, moderated by Dr Hamid Rashid, Head and Director of Global Economic Monitoring at the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (“UNDEA”).

Focusing particularly on environmental sustainability, Lee emphasised the transformative impact of innovative solutions, underlining the crucial intersection of technological advancement and ecological responsibility within the critical mineral supply chain. His vision on sustainability and circular economy solutions, resonated with the Forum's focus on sustainability reframe and Sustainability Development Goals (“SDGs”) redesign.

Graphjet Technology, renowned for its groundbreaking initiative that transforms biomass waste into high-quality graphite and graphene, stands at the forefront of technological breakthroughs in producing green battery materials. As the first and only producer of green graphite, Graphjet Technology’s innovative approach addresses the growing demand for critical minerals like graphite, essential for the battery industry, and significantly reduces carbon footprint by repurposing waste materials.

During the panel discussions, Lee highlighted the importance of collaboration and thinking outside the box to tackle global challenges.

“As the world gravitates towards sustainability and net-zero ambitions, it is crucial for us to explore innovative methods that complement traditional mining practices. Our process of converting biomass waste into critical minerals exemplifies a sustainable and circular approach to mining, contributing to a greener supply chain and reducing our carbon footprint. We're solving one issue while averting the creation of another, larger problem,” Lee said. This approach directly addresses concerns like the impurity of graphite and the risk of car self-incineration due to battery inefficiency.

Graphjet Technology’s participation in the Forum underscores its commitment to creating an economically, socially and environmentally sustainable supply chain for battery materials. The company’s work aligns with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and is a testament to its dedication to environmental stewardship and responsible business practices. The company also believes in global collaboration as Graphjet Technology announced its readiness to share technology and knowledge through joint venture methods with interested parties and industry players worldwide. This initiative aims to foster collaboration for creating a green ecosystem, underlining the company's dedication to a green circular economy and a sustainable future for the mining industry.

The Forum concluded with an emphasis on the need for a holistic approach to sustainability standards, incorporating diverse perspectives and ensuring that mining practices are beneficial for all stakeholders, including local communities and the global environment.
