FGR to Launch PureGRAPH® CEM Into China
The deal names Sixth Element as a key distributor and sets 200-tonne and 500-tonne sales thresholds for a possible local manufacturing venture.
On July 5, 2026, First Graphene Limited signed a Memorandum of Understanding with The Sixth Element Material Technology Co Ltd to distribute PureGRAPH CEM across China.
China's cement and concrete industry is the largest globally at more than 2.3 billion metric tonnes, with production generating up to 15% of the nation's carbon emissions.
The agreement includes provisions to negotiate a joint venture or licensing deal after selling 200 tonnes of product, with manufacturing commencing once 500 tonnes of PureGRAPH CEM are sold.
First Graphene Managing Director and CEO Michael Bell said the MOU represents the "largest commercial growth opportunity" in FGR's global strategy for establishing a localized manufacturing facility in China.
The agreement also provides opportunity to expand the joint venture or licensing structure, potentially authorizing Sixth Element to sell PureGRAPH CEM products globally beyond China.
