Carbon (C)
On this book carbon means graphite and graphene, not coal. Sri Lankan vein, Chinese flake and Australian spherical sit as separate contracts.
Vein graphite from Sri Lanka arrives already crystalline. Spherical coating is usually a Korea or China process step. Graphene paste is a downstream Build product, not a mine-gate tonne.
