CBMM claims that the application of niobium oxide in batteries increases the charge capacity, safety, and the speed at which the equipment is recharged.

Additionally, the company is developing new technologies with niobium and graphene oxides, elements that have great synergy in applications for this segment.

In September, VWCO (Volkswagen Buses and Trucks) announced a partnership with CBMM to start using the metal in the batteries of its electric vehicles.

Today, about 85,000 tons of niobium are produced and sold annually, and according to Rodrigo Amado, executive manager of strategy and new business at the company, the investment will lead to more than doubling its production capacity. The goal is to reach up to 185,000 tons per year by 2030.

Brazil Gains the First and Largest Graphene Production Factory in South America, Capable of Producing Up to 5000 Kg Per Year, Which Together With Niobium Will Revolutionize the Destiny of Humanity

The inauguration of the first and largest industrial-scale graphene production factory in South America, which took place on July 9, was attended by the President of the Republic, Jair Bolsonaro, the Chief Minister of the Civil House, Luiz Eduardo Ramos, and the Minister of Science, Technology and Innovations, Marcos Pontes. The facility will have the capacity to produce up to five thousand kilograms of high-quality graphene per year.

In his speech, President Jair Bolsonaro highlighted Brazil’s potential: “We have a blessed homeland. Returning to the periodic table, we have it all here in Brazil. Including in what is rare. We have about 1/3 of the graphite, or graphite, reserves in several states. We have approximately 97% of niobium, which married with graphene will truly revolutionize the destiny of humanity,” he said. Check out the video below
