Novonix’s chief executive and cofounder Dr Chris Burns said: The Phillips 66 investment will provide us with the capital needed to support growth and ongoing R&D as we continue to scale our synthetic graphite production and develop new technologies for higher performance energy storage applications. We look forward to continuing to build our relationship with Phillips 66 as both a strategic partner and investor.
Phillips 66 is a leading global manufacturer of specialty coke, a key precursor in the production of batteries that power electric vehicles, personal electronics, medical devices and energy storage units. NOVONIX, a leading producer of synthetic graphite, processes specialty coke to make highperformance anode material for these batteries. The investment supports the development of a fully domestic supply chain for sales into the U.S. electric vehicle and energy storage system markets.
ASX-listed battery technology company Novonix is stepping up production in the US as the Biden administration accelerates the shift to electric vehicles.
The company, which has operations in Brisbane and North America and is run by Canada-based Chris Burns, is positioning itself for a major increase in demand for its synthetic graphite-based supplies for lithium-ion batteries for electric cars.
It is buying a factory once owned by General Electric in Chattanooga, Tennessee, to boost production to meet increased demand for batteries for electric vehicles.
The company is the only qualified producer of the product in North America at a time when the US is becoming increasingly concerned about the need to source its battery supply products domestically rather than rely on inputs from China.
Mr Burns said the factory would put Novonix in a “very good position to enter into large-volume, longer-term supply agreements with major battery cell manufacturers”.
Working with the Tennessee Valley Authority, which supplies power for the factory, also had advantages as it was seen as a source of clean energy.

Yep, that was US$150m ..... and continues to. moving higher .... $12.20Did I calculate it correctly. Approximately AUD2.62/share.
The market certainly has taken it well.
Someone wants out .... a big holder more than likely. Highest volume of the day, so far, when it pushed through $9.00 on the way down. That's a 25% drop from the $12.00 open this morningLooks like you put the jinx on it.
Jinks undeed. Jinky Jinksed.Looks like you put the jinks on it.
Hi Dona, do you think this latest price drop is a buy opportunity or is it a wait and see situation (NVX)?3. If the answer to question 1 is “no”, is there any other explanation that NVX may have for the recent trading in its securities?
NVX is aware of the following possible explanations for the recent trading in NVX securities:
(a) the Company has received enquiries from Shareholders regarding the Final Directors Interest Notice for Greg Baynton that was lodged with the ASX on 2 December 2021. NVX confirms that Greg Baynton has not sold any of his shareholding in NVX and his shareholdings are correctly set out on page 2 of the Final Directors Interest Notice.
(b) a CNBC article reports Tesla is seeking an extended tariff waiver for Chinese graphite imported into the USA because currently "only mainland China could provide the quantity of graphite it needs in flake or powder form to manufacture its batteries in the U.S".. NVX maintains its current plan to reach a production volume of 10,000 tonnes per year by 2023, 40,000 tonnes per year by 2025 and 150,000 tonnes per year by 2030.
(c) the Financial Review Newspaper ran an article on the technology sector generally, in which they reference NVX in the headline on 3 December 2021.
The company is not aware of any other explanation for the recent trading activities in NVX securities.
“We believe Novonix was the first qualified supplier of high-capacity long-life synthetic graphite anode material to a major cell maker and is the only supplier with plans to provide large volumes of this key material in the US,” said Novonix chief executive Chris Burns.
“Our technological breakthroughs are helping to power the energy storage market, leading to better performance, longer life and lower costs.
“This listing furthers our long-term goal of reshoring the EV supply chain in North America and becoming a leader in the electrification economy.”
