Nissan to Reduce Hybrid Vehicle Cost by 30%

Australian graphite developer International Graphite has signed a non-binding supply and offtake agreement with UK trading firm Wogen. Under the agreement, Wogen will supply up to 10,000 tpy of graphite flake concentrate to International Graphite's Collie micronised graphite plant in Western Australia, while International Graphite will supply at least 3,000 tpy of micronised spherical graphite to Wogen's Pacific unit for distribution across Asia-Pacific, primarily Japan and South Korea. The companies intend to finalize a binding agreement before the Collie facility begins commercial production in mid-2027.

Hongyuan Pharmaceutical announced that its new 6,000-tpa lithium hexafluorophosphate (LiPF₆) production line commenced operations in June and will gradually ramp up output in the second half of the year. Together with its existing capacity, the company's total LiPF₆ production capacity is expected to reach 18,000–20,000 tpa by the end of 2026.
