==Summary==

'''Graphene''' is an ultra-strong superconductive synthetic material composed of pure carbon in a hexagonal lattice. It is used in a number of advanced recipes and in the manufacture of [[Carbon Nanotube|carbon nanotubes]]. It can be synthesized in a [[Chemical Plant|chemical plant]] from [[Energetic Graphite|graphite]] and [[Sulfuric Acid|sulfuric acid]], or from [[Fire Ice|fire ice]].

==Player Tips & Tricks==

* Although Graphene can be used as fuel, its energy value per unit is extremely low--even lower than the ingredients used to make the Graphene. However, the ability to burn Graphene means it can be easily disposed of when extracting [[Hydrogen]] from [[Fire Ice]] (although in the late game there are more efficient ways to gather Hydrogen in large quantities).

* Graphene may be rarely harvested in small quantities from certain plants. However, this is not a reliable way to get Graphene for even medium-scale production.
