GrafTech International (EAF) and Antora Energy announced a strategic collaboration on carbon-based materials for Antora’s thermal batteries, centered on GrafTech’s St. Marys, Pennsylvania facility.
The partners are already restarting operations in St. Marys, where GrafTech has brought eight bake furnaces back online and both companies have hired new workers, with plans to hire about a dozen more across plant operations and support roles. GrafTech expects the partnership to use a significant portion of the site’s bake furnace capacity, diversify its end markets, and support the domestic energy storage supply chain. Antora recently closed an oversubscribed $550 million Series C and commissioned Project Big Stone, which is delivering round-the-clock energy to POET. A Memorandum of Understanding is in place, with final agreements still subject to negotiation and conditions.
GrafTech International (EAF) announced a minimum 30% graphite electrode price increase, effective immediately for all open commercial negotiations.
