() has chosen a leased site in central Germany to build its graphite to graphene demonstration plant.
It can now make preparations to commence next stage upscaling work on graphite ore mined from its flagship Vittangi project in Sweden as early as July this year.
The German site is within the Rudolstadt-Schwarza (“Rudolstadt”) chemical processing hub in the state of Thuringia near the major regional town of Jena.
The government owned facility built in 2008 includes a 1248 square metre production area with attached 323 square metre office space and an adjacent 1167 square metre ore dressing/ warehouse.
It is also located just 35 kilometres from Talga’s Thuringia-based research partner Friedrich-Schiller University at Jena.
This proximity ensures state-of-the-art analytics and research expertise will be close to the demonstration plant assisting the pace of both process scale-up and graphene product testing.
Talga will fund the plant from part proceeds of a $5.5 million placement concluded in March this year.
In addition Thuringian State Minister for Economic Affairs and Science Wolfgang Tiefensee has confirmed that Talga has full State backing including access to all R&D and other subsidy programs.
