Wow, selling our green tech to China again. What could possibly go wrong? 🙄
yeah nah get stuffed NZ Herald always fearmongering. This is literally making something from waste.
get investment and jobs, and the tech stays here. It's not like they're shipping our trees to China mate.
Honestly don't mind this one. Forestry waste into graphite? That's actually clever. Beats digging it up overseas.
lol cope. you'll be crying when the batteries run our cars and we're still buying em from China.
20% stake? Just a toe in the door before they buy the whole thing. Seen this movie before.

lmao my gen chem lecturer said we're never gonna have a battery revolution without sustainable graphite. maybe this is the start?
ffs another one who thinks China is our saviour. Wake up.
Chinese battery giant... green graphite push... keep digging Kiwis, you're doing great 👏
waste wood to battery parts is actually sick ngl. better than pine trees just rotting in piles.
facts but at least we're not just digging a hole and shipping it raw this time. value-add, y'know
So we're shipping our natural resources to China so they can make batteries for their own cars. And we get..? A few jobs? Sick of it.
Local company getting global investment is a win in my book. Stop gatekeeping progress tbh.
already own half our dairy industry. This is just more of the same.
What a load of shit. Another Kiwi idea sold off for pennies while shareholders get rich.
get stuffed naysayer. better than doing nothing and waiting for the world to pass us by
not gonna lie, if carbonscape's tech actually works and scales up, this could be huge for regional jobs. but i'll believe it when i see it lol
