Zhongke Electric recently announced its plan to terminate three anode material projects: the 130,000-tonne-per-year integrated lithium battery anode material project at the Ganmei Industrial Park (originally planned in 2022 and since suspended), the 100,000-tonne-per-year integrated project in Lanzhou New Area (also planned in 2022 and suspended), and the 100,000-tonne-per-year integrated anode material base project in Morocco (planned in 2024 and suspended). Separately, Tiantie Technology earlier announced the termination of its 100,000-tonne-per-year modified graphite anode material project in the Lujiang High-tech Zone, which had an originally planned total investment of approximately RMB 1.45 billion. Industry insiders believe that the anode material sector is now gradually moving beyond the stage of blind capacity expansion and entering a new phase of precise positioning, selective implementation, quality improvement, and efficiency enhancement, with the pace of capacity clearance continuing to accelerate.

[Brazil's Critical Minerals Progress Depends on Government Support, Industry Says]

At the Rio de Janeiro Energy Summit on June 25, panelists stated that without direct government support, Brazil will not advance its critical minerals sector, given the country's lack of infrastructure, technology, and long‑term investment. Analysts noted that minerals have become a strategic asset essential for ensuring technological leadership and energy security, and should no longer be viewed merely as extractive commodities. They added that a sound legal and regulatory framework is key to providing predictability and certainty for long‑term investment in the industry. Marcos Mesquita, Strategic Vice President of LPG distributor Copa Energia, said the mining sector should focus on diversifying extraction operations into multiple minerals and their by‑products to increase revenue. Mesquita added that Brazil should not emulate China, as it can leverage its abundant water resources and dominant renewable energy generation to build a more sustainable industry platform.
