http://blog.agoracom.com/2012/10/19/...upply-meets-increasing-demand/ It’s clear to see that our future could rely heavily on an increased supply of graphite, but the question is, where will it come from? Currently, China controls over seventy percent of the world’s graphite market, but depleted reserves paired with increased consumption has them holding on to what they’ve got. The country has imposed a twenty percent export duty combined with a seventeen percent VAT and export licensing system resulting in graphite prices to rise considerably, especially when it comes to flake. As Industrial Minerals Magazine says, “The days of cheap, abundant graphite from China are over.” Na, dann hoffen wir mal, dass sich die Preise für Graphit wieder nach Norden bewegen!
