Green Critical Minerals Ltd (ASX: GCM) has provided an update on the progress of the company’s VHD Technology pilot plant, located at its industrial facility in NSW.
Green Critical Minerals’ managing director, Clinton Booth, commented, “I am delighted to be able to announce that our VHD pilot plant has entered commissioning well ahead of schedule, significantly accelerating our project timeline. This achievement represents a pivotal milestone in our mission to commercialize our VHD graphite technology, paving the way for transformative opportunities in the renewable energy and high-performance electronics sectors.”
Work completed by the team over the Christmas and new year period has significantly accelerated the project’s timeline, with the prototype VHD Graphite blocks now anticipated in January, and first production expected in February 2025, well ahead of the scheduled CY25 timeframe.
Following on from the company’s previous announcement on 12 December 2024, construction of Line 1 is now complete, marking the transition to the second phase of commissioning.
This follows the successful completion of post-construction installation and operational checks in the dry commissioning phase.
The pilot plant is a critical component of GCM’s broader strategy to commercialize the VHD Technology and unlock its transformative potential.
