For some, the speculation is still - can they process on a large scale to the high purity and at a low cost - well the answer is why is Dr. Chahar buy after the Sep 2 release if that was an issue?

I think the uncertainties should have been put to rest by all the potential end-users(NDA signees) who demanded the 5 tons each of materials for their own testing.The same concern could have been put forward before Dr.Chahar and Ken Stowe joined the force to open an alternative market for synthetic graphite.

There had been much talks about the impact of low oil price to demands for Li-ion batteries for cars.We all know that the situation is a political one and only a handful of oil producing nations are producing at a small profit at this price.How long they wish to punish the Russians is any one,s guess.

The graphene market does not fair better in this respect.They had endured supply shortage of petroleum needle coke ,high cost of production, long delays for deliveries as well as environmental concerns.I do not think any company concerned would have passed on an opportunity to find an alternative source which could bring a solution to this dilemma and what a solution that could be.
