like NBG demonstrate that graphite cleanly, efficiently, and sustainable, fossil-free graphite at scale. production is not only feasible but scalable. Accelerating this The shift from reliance to resilience transition requires investment, must begin now. If Europe is to supportive policies, and industry lead the green transition, it must collaboration. Governments, secure the materials that make it manufacturers, and investors possible. Graphite isn’ t just another must urgently work together to commodity- it’ s the backbone of ensure Europe can produce its the clean industries of the future.
