Delivering the next phase of Talga’s Swedish graphite anode project
We have been selected as the preferred contractor by Talga for Engineering, Procurement and Construction Management (EPCM) services on its integrated Vittangi Anode Project in northern Sweden.
The development includes a graphite mineral processing concentrator and battery anode production facility – representing a fully integrated mine-to-anode operation.
This agreement builds on a long-standing collaboration. Since 2019, we have supported the project across multiple stages, including Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS), Detailed Feasibility Study (DFS) and, most recently, the Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) and Value Improvement Process completed in 2024.
The Vittangi Anode Project is designed to strengthen Europe’s access to critical raw materials and reinforce its domestic supply of lower-emission battery inputs. This project further establishes our footprint in the Nordic region as a key partner in Europe’s energy transition, contributing to critical minerals development, supporting decarbonization goals, and bringing global expertise to one of the world’s most advanced battery value chains.

Worley CEO, Chris Ashton, commented: “We’re really pleased to continue this growing partnership with Talga. This agreement reflects our shared vision and commitment to delivering innovative, future-focused sustainable solutions. Our global teams supporting this project bring deep technical knowledge and experience in critical minerals, with benefits for Europe’s battery supply chain.”
Talga Group CEO, Martin Phillips, commented: “This partnership marks a major milestone in Talga’s mission to become Europe’s leading sustainable anode producer, combining Worley’s engineering excellence with Talga’s integrated, low-emission graphite solutions. Their expertise will complement the Talga project delivery team and we look forward to working together to finalise pre-FID activities towards execution.”
Both Talga’s graphite mine and battery anode plant have been awarded Strategic Project status under the EU’s Critical Raw Materials Act and the Net-Zero Industry Act- reinforcing their importance to regional economic and decarbonization goals.

To advance toward execution, the companies have signed a non-binding Letter of Intent (LOI) that defines key workstreams and alignment on commercial terms. This is to ensure readiness for rapid project progression once Final Investment Decision (FID) is made by Talga’s board. The LOI provides a clear pathway forward to a binding EPCM contract, with terms expected to align with market standards. Talga’s FID is anticipated following completion of key milestones including finalization of customer supply agreements and project financing structures. The anticipated value of the EPCM contract is expected to align with market standards and remains subject to negotiation and execution of binding documentation.
