Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Ltd. (CATL) has made an investment in a New Zealand-based company that converts forestry by-products into graphite for use in lithium batteries.

Together with investment firm Lochpine Capital, CATL will hold a combined 20% stake in CarbonScape Ltd., with the aim of scaling up production of bio-based graphite to meet the growing global demand from the automotive and energy storage sectors.

CarbonScape stated that through this collaboration, its technology will undergo pilot-scale testing at CATL's existing manufacturing facilities in China.

"Our shared goal is to achieve commercial production of bio-graphite by the end of this decade," CarbonScape CEO Ivan Williams said in a statement on Monday.
