GRAPHJET Technology Sdn Bhd, a leader in sustainable graphite and graphene production, is now in contention for the prestigious Platts Global Energy Awards after being selected as a finalist for the Energy Transition (Emerging Technology of the Year) category.
This recognition highlights Graphjet’s innovative approach in converting palm kernel shells into high-value graphite and graphene, thus positioning the group at the forefront of clean energy solutions.
Recall that Graphjet which has revolutionised the graphite production process by having developed patented technologies that convert agricultural waste into high-quality graphite and graphene was successfully listed on the NASDAQ stock exchange on March 15.
Established in 1999, the S&P Global Platts Global Energy Awards are often regarded as the “Oscars” of the energy industry.
Celebrating trailblazing companies and individuals that drive transformative change, the awards underscore the importance of innovation and collaboration in advancing clean energy on a global scale.
This year’s event will culminate in a grand gala in New York City on Dec 12.
As a Malaysia-based company, Graphjet’s nomination represents a testament to its innovative technological solutions and showcases Malaysia’s growing presence in the global energy transition space.
This recognition reinforces Malaysia’s potential to contribute significantly to sustainable energy solutions through home-grown technology, further boosting its reputation on the international stage.
Graphjet’s selection as a finalist also reaffirms the group’s commitment to developing environmentally- friendly solutions that align with global sustainability goals, especially within the electric vehicle (EV) and semiconductor industries.
By transforming agricultural waste into premium materials, Graphjet continues to lead the way in creating circular economies and reducing carbon footprints globally.
“Our shortlisting as a finalist for this award is a huge achievement, both for Graphjet and for Malaysia,” commented Graphjet co-founder and CEO Aiden Lee Ping Wei.
