Interesting:
I have just heard something interesting in a science article. Researchers have set a new record against frost using graphene. If you take a finely ribbed surface, role model leaves, and then coat the areas between these ribs with graphene, frost deposits have almost no chance. This is 1,000 times more effective than the most frost-resistant surfaces that have been available to date.

Farewell frost! New surface prevents frost without heat
In a new study, researchers discovered that tweaking the texture of any surface and adding a thin layer of graphene oxide prevents 100% of frost from forming on surfaces for one week or potentially even longer. This is 1,000 times longer than current, state-of-the-art anti-frosting surfaces.

"Solid-state batteries may yet catch up — but silicon anodes are winning the race to power EVs
Published Tue, Nov 5 2024...
“At this stage silicon anodes are used more as an additive to graphite-based anodes and in the years to come we expect to see increase of silicon share in anode, but in combination with graphite, while 100% silicon anodes will take longer time to enter the mass market,” he added."
I think Sam's been looking over my shoulder.

"Seven films about Swedish graphene
20 november 2024
The innovation program SIO Graphene has made seven short films about the groundbreaking and two-dimensional material graphene. The focus is on Swedish companies and what has happened in Sweden.
It is Johan Ek Weis and Jonas Löfvendahl from Chalmers Industriteknik and SIO Grafen who have traveled around Sweden with the film camera and visited companies that work with graphene including Graphmatech, Grafren, 2D fab and other organizations that talk about the current state of the Swedish 2D industry.
"The films are for those who are curious about graphene and wonder about the current state of the materials in Sweden. We go through key aspects, products, advances and challenges. Right now, a huge amount is happening in Swedish industry around graphene and the films can be the way to start working with the groundbreaking 2D materials," says Jonas Löfvendahl in a press release.
The films show facts about graphene, Swedish manufacturing and the industry's scale-up, health aspects, as well as applications in energy storage, among other things. Seven films have been published and more will be added in 2025."

Talga is a member of the BVES. Here is a study by the most renowned technical university in Germany RWTH regarding fire hazards and batteries. A lot of misinformation or lies have been spread. Well, we have to get used to the lies and misinformation globally, but:
"The RWTH Aachen study proves the fire safety of battery storage systems
The conclusions of the study, conducted by the Institute for Power Electronics and Electrical Drives (ISEA) at RWTH Aachen, confirm the high fire safety of battery storage systems and support the previous assumptions of experts. This study was presented at the BVES Annual Conference.Background and methodology
The study is based on all publicly available reports of fires in Germany in 2022 and 2023. Its aim was to collect and comprehensively analyse reliable statistical data. The study thus closes a previously existing gap in the data available for Germany.Results of the study
The issue of fire safety in battery storage systems continues to be affected by misinformation and falsehoods. The study provides the first scientifically founded insights into the risks of battery storage systems and delivers the following key messages:- Extremely low probability of fire: at 0.005% per year, the probability of a fire caused by battery storage is lower than for many other household appliances such as tumble dryers (0.0037%) or refrigerators (0.0012%).
- Safe operation: Certified battery storage systems meet all applicable standards and do not increase the risk of fire in households.
- Role in the energy transition: The results prove that battery storage systems are an indispensable and safe element for the expansion of renewable energies.
Significance for the energy storage industry
The RWTH study is a milestone for the industry in a number of ways:- Boosting trust: the analysis dispels prejudices and shows that battery storage is a safe technology that actively contributes to the energy transition.
- Fact-based discussion: The study provides a solid foundation for political and public debates on the promotion of energy storage systems.
- Growth impulse: With the global target of tripling the use of renewable energies by 2030 and the annual growth rate of 25% in storage capacities, the energy storage industry will continue to play a key role in the energy transition."

Extract from a feasibility study for a graphite research centre in Norrbotten that is to be a world leader. The interviewees were many Talga employees. LNAB is Lulea's business development agency. H2 Consulting probably has nothing to do with H2 Green Steel.
I'm actually looking for the answer to the question of where LKAB gets its graphite electrodes from.

Establishment of a graphite research centre in Norrbotten
Preliminary study of conditions
...
On behalf of Luleå Näringsliv AB (LNAB), H2SE Consulting AB in collaboration with Åström Analys AB (hereinafter ‘we’ and ‘our’) has conducted a feasibility study on the use of graphite in the future sustainable society and in particular on the conditions for the establishment of a graphite research centre in Norrbotten. The aim of the assignment was to investigate whether the conditions are right for the establishment of a graphite research centre in Norrbotten that has the potential to become a world leader. If so, such a centre should support business development in northern Sweden and contribute to maintaining a world-leading research and innovation capacity in Norrbotten. We have operationalised the LNAB project plan into the following questions, where questions 1-5 essentially form the background for answering question 6:
What does the graphite market look like today and how is it expected to develop in the future?
In which applications is graphite used today and in which applications is growth forecast?
Where does graphite come from today and where is it expected to come from in the future?
What are the competitive advantages of graphite from Northern Finland (compared to synthetic graphite and natural graphite from other deposits)?
Where is the world's leading graphite research being conducted today?
In which (sub)areas is graphite research currently conducted?
Are there any ‘white spots’ in graphite research and development (which, if explored, could help create business opportunities in northern Sweden)?
If such white spots exist: a. What business opportunities could a research centre in Norrbotten help to create? For which companies?
What conditions need to be in place to establish a research centre in Norrbotten?
Who could be the principal for a research centre in Norrbotten?
What steps need to be taken to establish a research centre in Norrbotten?
How could these steps be financed?
Who could be responsible for these steps?
LNAB realises that it is not reasonable to expect exhaustive answers to questions 6b-f from this early feasibility study. If this feasibility study were to conclude that there are conditions for establishing a graphite research centre in Norrbotten, the idea is that a more ambitious establishment study would result in more detailed answers to how the establishment could take place. At a meeting with LNAB on 2023-02-20, it was agreed to focus on the question
5 on identifying ‘white spots’ (i.e. question 5b), rather than on mapping world-leading graphite research in a broader sense (question 5a). The assignment's primary target group is actors in graphite research, development and commercialisation in Norrbotten, but also companies in the region that see opportunities to create new business and competitive advantages in order to contribute to the green transition, based on Norrbotten's natural graphite. A reference group consisting of individuals with insight into research and business opportunities in graphite and related areas has assisted in the implementation of the assignment. The reference group members are listed in Annex A.
