Following an article I published about Lux Research&#8217;s projections\u00a0regarding <a href=\"http:\/\/cleantechnica.com\/2014\/02\/01\/soon-till-favorite-advanced-material-graphene-quantum-dots-etc-commercialized-lux-research-may-know\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">when graphene and other advanced materials might be commercialized<\/a>, this reader sent me two links about a Polish startup that has reportedly just begun producing graphene.<\/p>\n<p>The startup, established back in 2011 (before <a href=\"http:\/\/planetsave.com\/2012\/05\/28\/olympicene-molecule-built-smallest-possible-five-ringed-structure\/\" target=\"_blank\">graphene<\/a> was on the radar of most of us), is co-owned by mining giant KGHM (where my father-in-law and brother-in-law actually work) and the Industrial Development Agency (ARP). It is using technology that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.graphene-info.com\/new-efficient-epitaxy-based-method-produce-graphene\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">was\u00a0developed<\/a> at the Institute of Electronic Materials Technology in Warsaw.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.graphene-info.com\/nano-carbon-starts-graphene-production-poland\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">some more information<\/a> on the technique used: &#8220;The method, an adaptation of epitaxy, relies on the crystallization of carbon from an outer source, which means the carbon is settled down in the form of a one or two atom thick layer on the surface. The EMT says that the process is efficient and cheap and uses commercially available equipment.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><center><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\/\/ < ![CDATA[\ngoogle_ad_client = \"ca-pub-6260354429531949\"; \/* Zach CT *\/ google_ad_slot = \"0804191960\"; google_ad_width = 468; google_ad_height = 60;\n\/\/ ]]><\/script><br \/>\n<script src=\"http:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/show_ads.js\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\/\/ < ![CDATA[\n\n\/\/ ]]><\/script><\/center>In a <a href=\"http:\/\/inzynierpv.pl\/12\/20\/tusk-produkcja-grafenu-w-polsce-to-historyczny-moment\/#.UvT8AkJdV5B\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Polish solar PV engineering publication<\/a>, Prime Minister Donald Tusk is reported to have commented on the achievement while attending the opening of the production facility, calling it a historic moment. That report notes that this is the only company commercially producing graphene. Indeed, the Lux Research article I noted at the top projected that &#8220;graphene\u2019s\u00a0major commercial inflection point is still off in the future \u2013 expect\u00a0graphene\u00a0to begin to find widespread use in battery electrodes or conductive composites around 2025.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Of course, graphene has many insane, unprecedented properties.
