Cerebral Energy LLC is a Service-disabled Veteran-owned small business based in Sheridan, Wyoming, specializing in advanced energy systems and sustainable material production. Founded by a decorated US military veteran and a national security executive, the company develops innovative battery technologies using recycled materials from U.S. waste streams. Their mission focuses on supporting rapid transport electrification while strengthening domestic energy independence.
Battery Technology
Cerebral Energy’s flagship product is the AGILE battery system, a lithium-free secondary battery that incorporates recycled aluminum and graphene from U.S. waste sources. This technology, developed in partnership with Dr. Lynden Archer, Dean of the School of Engineering at Cornell University, delivers superior efficiency compared to traditional lithium-ion batteries.
The company’s solid-state battery technology significantly improves power efficiency and safety, particularly for Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites. These batteries provide enhanced energy storage capacity while reducing weight by over 40% compared to conventional systems. A notable feature is their elimination of dendrite-accelerated thermal runaway issues, making them substantially safer than traditional options.
Additionally, Cerebral Energy has exclusive rights to the “Graphitizer” technology, developed at the University of California, Riverside. This system transforms low-grade carbon waste into synthetic graphite, establishing a reliable domestic supply chain. Their aqueous recycling process achieves a 95% efficiency rate in recovering lithium, rare earth elements, and other critical metals from spent batteries and electronic waste.
Recent Projects
In a significant development, Cerebral Energy secured a $1.6 million Phase II STTR contract from AFWERX, the U.S. Air Force’s research group. This funding supports the development of AGILE batteries, specifically targeting tactical power requirements for the Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC). The project demonstrates the practical application of their lithium-free battery technology in military operations.
