The graphite electrode (GE) consumption in China is increasing rapidly amid the supply-side reforms undertaken by the country. In its efforts to control overcapacity and curb rising levels of pollution, the Chinese government has ordered the closure of many polluting induction, blast furnaces and also GE units. At the same time, it is promoting usage of more electric furnaces to produce steel which requires graphite electrodes as key raw material. Thus this closure of GE units and promotion of EAFs has made graphite electrode industry in China as one of the main focus of investment.
