	Energetic Graphite is a form of refined graphite that is produced by refining coal in a smelter or by refining refined oil in a refinery. The refined graphite is usable as a fuel and as crafting material.		'''Energetic Graphite''' is a form of refined graphite that is produced by refining [[coal]] in a [[Arc Smelter\|smelter]] or by refining [[Refined Oil\|refined oil]] in a [[Oil Refinery\|refinery]]. The refined graphite is usable as a fuel and as crafting material.

			* Coal can be converted into Energetic Graphite at a rate of one Coal per Energetic Graphite by using Reforming Refine and X-Ray Cracking to convert Coal and Hydrogen into Refined Oil and then convert that into Hydrogen and Energetic Graphite. However, this requires much more energy (7.68 MJ per Energetic Graphite, versus 1.44 MJ with Plane Smelters or 720 kJ with Arc Smelters) and is significantly slower.
