Partially agree. The cement option might be a good fit. But what about costs and potential market size?

BUT - Industry would/could never pay anything remotely close to $ 100k /kg phantasy prices that thrown around here (and other notorious BBs).

Where are the in depth discussions regarding synthetic/artificial vs natural Graphite / Graphene ... cost (dis-)advantages, applications, properties, markets(!!!).

It's ridiculously obvious (to me) how some posters (and alas even ZEN.V - which is a very bad sign btw) choose to deliberately not compare the two techniques; when in fact this is the main discussion that should be taking place.

E.g. CVD has made some breakthrough advances last year (especially when it comes to cutting custs and improving purity) - even though I am aware that artificial Graphene ist not necessarily suitable for some applications.

Some food for thought...
