Established in 2019 in Malaysia, Graphjet Technology supplies sustainable low-cost graphene, graphite and graphene-based anode materials.
Leveraging a novel patented technology that recycles palm kernel shells from palm oil production, Graphjet creates high-quality, single layer graphene and artificial graphite for electric vehicle (EV) batteries, medical devices, and home appliances. Its proprietary process reportedly ensures at least 98% similarity to their natural counterparts, which is much more consistent compared to other petroleum coke and coal based synthetic graphite and graphene solutions.
The Company is constructing its first manufacturing plant in the Kuantan district of Pahang State, and expects to open it with an annual output of 10,000 tons of graphite and 60 tons of graphene, while processing 30,000 tons of dried palm kernel waste.
Its collaborations span globally recognized universities like MIT and the University of Manchester, alongside partnerships with local institutions in Malaysia and Japan. Moreover, its alliance with the World Economic Forum on sustainable initiatives marks its commitment to facilitating the energy transition and underscores its role in the broader industrial and environmental ecosystem through membership in the Industrial Liaison Program (ILP).

Graphjet to collaborate with Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia for the development of thermal management material using graphene and graphite
Graphjet Technology has announced it will support and collaborate with Centre for Materials Engineering and Smart Manufacturing (MERCU) of Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) on integrating graphite and graphene into additive manufacturing technology to develop advance heat sinks.
In addition, Graphjet has completed a laboratory which enhanced its capability to perform quality testing on its graphite and graphene as well as research on improvements to the graphite and graphene produced. This will reduce the Company’s reliance on third party for testing services and would allow a much quicker turnaround time for the Company’s development program. This laboratory will also serve in the collaboration with UKM.
Graphjet opens green graphite plant in Malaysia
Malaysia-headquartered Graphjet Technology, developer of technologies to produce graphite and graphene from agricultural waste, has announces it is starting the 'world’s largest commercial-scale green graphite facility outside China'.
The more than 8,300-sq.-metre plant in Kuala Lumpur has the capacity to recycle up to 9,000 tonnes of palm kernel shells annually for as much as 3,000 tonnes of battery-grade graphite per year, Graphjet said in a recent statement. The output can make enough batteries for 40,000 electric vehicles a year.
Graphjet Technology begins trading on Nasdaq
Graphjet Technology has announced it will begin trading on Nasdaq under the ticker symbol “GTI". Graphjet Technology, developer of patented technologies to produce graphite and graphene directly from agricultural waste, and Energem Corp. (Nasdaq: ENCP, ENCPW), have closed a business combination that "creates the only pure-play publicly traded direct biomass-to-graphite company.
Graphjet has raised $5.8 million through the transaction and anticipates that additional fundraising will be necessary to accelerate its growth strategy and expand its manufacturing capacity. These funds will enhance the Company’s financial flexibility as well as its ability to capitalize on organic and inorganic growth opportunities.
Graphjet signs LO for new production plant
Malaysia-based graphite and single-layer graphene producer, Graphjet Technology (GTI), recently signed a Letter of Offer to build its RM400 million (over USD$90 million) production facility in the Phase 3 of Malaysia-China Kuantan Industrial Park.
Graphjet's patented technology aims to transform palm kernel shell, a waste from palm kernel production, into single-layer graphene, at a significantly lower cost than the current production of single-layer graphene. The production plant is expected to produce 10,000 tonnes of graphite and 60 tonnes of single-layer graphene annually.
Graphjet Technology partners with Quantum Science to explore graphene-based materials device platform
Malaysia-based graphite and single-layer graphene producer, Graphjet Technology (GTI), has partnered with Quantum Science (QS), a UK-based quantum dot and ink technology developer, to explore technical and commercial opportunities to develop a quantum dot and graphene-based materials device platform.
GTI, which is on its way to a listing on the Nasdaq Exchange following the merger with SPAC Energem Corp, will be responsible for the funding of the development of the platform. At the same time, QS is responsible for developing the platform. GTI expects to contribute up to five million pounds (over USD$5.7 million) towards the platform's development during the deal's term or around three years.
Malaysia-based graphite and graphene producer Graphjet aims to list on the NASDAQ with a $1.5 billion valuation
Malaysia-based Graphjet Technology aims to list on the NASDAQ, with a projected valuation of $1.49 billion. The company has signed an agreement with Energem Corp (NASDAQ: ENCP), a special-purpose acquisition company that will merge with Graphjet.
Graphjet was established in 2019 in Malaysia. The company produces graphene and graphite from palm kernel shells (a common waste product from the production of palm seed oil). The company targets several applications, including batteries for EVs and power storage.
