29% concrete strength uplift confirmed in Australian field trials
Independent compressive testing in Australia confirms a 29% strength uplift at 28 days for GO-modified concrete versus the control mix. Civil-engineering pilots commencing.
Solar microgrid commissioned at Melsiripura processing site
Our refining facility now runs on a dedicated solar microgrid. The 280 kW installation displaces an estimated 410 tonnes of CO₂ annually and powers neighbouring community buildings during off-shifts.
Three-year research partnership signed with German engineering institute
A multi-year collaboration agreement formalises our existing partnerships with German processing research, focused on dispersion stability and scale-up of reduced graphene oxide.

Ragedara Miners' Scholarship Fund
An annual scholarship programme supporting children of mineworkers and surrounding villages through university. Twenty-four placements awarded in 2026 across science, engineering and the arts.
100% Solar-Powered Operations
Our processing facilities are designed with sustainability in mind. Graphenera utilizes 100% solar energy for major factory operations, supporting cleaner production and reducing environmental impact. Off-shift capacity is shared with the neighbouring village hall, primary school and medical clinic.
Water Stewardship Initiative
Quarterly water-quality monitoring of streams and wells around the mine. Independent results published openly. Remediation works funded where deviations are detected.
STEM School Programme
Funding science labs and graphene-themed teaching kits across six rural schools. Annual lab open-day brings ~150 students through our facility.
