Volt Carbon Technologies Inc. is a Canadian company specializing in mineral resource extraction and energy storage device development. Founded in 1997 and based in Calgary, Alberta, the company focuses on creating sustainable solutions for the battery and energy sectors. Through its innovative dry separation method for graphite extraction and advanced battery development programs, Volt Carbon Technologies has established itself as a significant contributor to North America’s clean energy infrastructure. The company operates through two main divisions: Mineral Exploration and Development, and Research and Development, with projects spanning across Canada’s resource-rich regions.
Battery Technology
Volt Carbon Technologies’ battery innovations center on several advanced developments. Their proprietary lithium metal electrolyte technology, when combined with Charge CCCV’s BMLMP cathodes, demonstrates exceptional performance with stable capacity retention exceeding 650 cycles. This surpasses traditional lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery capabilities.
The company’s environmentally conscious approach is evident in their dry-separated graphite process, which eliminates chemical purification needs. This method, integrated with C4V’s Green Anode technology, achieves a discharge capacity of 363.7 mAh/g and maintains a first-cycle efficiency of 93.6%. Their most notable achievement is the development of a lithium-ion battery that functions at temperatures as low as -80°C, making it particularly valuable for aerospace and defense applications.
Additionally, their LFP/Li-Metal battery technology has reached 1,100 cycles with 80% capacity retention, offering a cost-effective alternative by removing the need for expensive materials like nickel and cobalt. These advancements position Volt Carbon Technologies as a significant contributor to electric vehicle and grid storage solutions.
Recent Projects
In preparation for PDAC 2025, Volt Carbon Technologies plans to showcase its sustainable graphite processing technology at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre from March 2-5, 2025. The company received a U.S. patent for its air classifier technology, which successfully purifies graphite to 98% purity from the Berkwood deposit. Their collaboration with Charge CCCV LLC has yielded promising results in battery performance and efficiency, marking significant progress in sustainable energy storage solutions.
Investors
Current notable shareholders include V-Bond Lee with 4.476%, Robert Martin holding 3.838%, and Aiping Yu possessing 2.878%. Additional significant investors include Glen Nursey with 0.6839% and Carmelo Marrelli holding 0.1869%. These stakeholders contribute to the company’s stability and growth potential in the energy storage sector.
