Advanced Carbon & Graphite in Europe: Trends, Opportunities, and Challenges

This presentation will provide a policy and market overview of the European advanced carbon and graphite ecosystem, with a particular focus on its relevance for graphene producers. It will begin with a brief introduction to the European Advanced Carbon and Graphite Materials Association (ECGA) and its role in representing the interests of the sector at EU level. The presentation will then outline the current European landscape for carbon and graphite materials, covering key applications, demand trends, and supply chain dynamics. Finally, it will highlight the EU’s strategic ambitions and policy initiatives affecting advanced carbon materials, including those shaping market opportunities, sustainability requirements, and industrial competitiveness for graphene producers in Europe.
