CarbonScape’s primary innovation is its patented biographite production process, which converts wood chips into a material suitable for lithium-ion battery anodes. This sustainable approach differs significantly from conventional graphite production methods, which typically rely on mining or synthetic processes with substantial environmental impacts.
The company’s biographite manufacturing process operates at lower temperatures compared to traditional methods, resulting in reduced energy consumption and improved environmental performance. The end product meets industry specifications for lithium-ion battery applications, offering comparable performance to conventional graphite while maintaining cost competitiveness.
A notable aspect of CarbonScape’s technology is its scalability. The process is designed for commercial-scale production, with individual plants capable of producing up to 10,000 tons of graphite annually. This capacity helps address the growing demand for battery materials while reducing dependence on traditional supply chains.
2024 partnership with Stora Enso to build a demonstration plant in Sunila, Finland, with construction starting in 2025 and sample production by 2026 to serve European battery manufacturers.
CarbonScape secured $18M in funding from Stora Enso and Amperex Technology Ltd (ATL).
