Cleaning up the world’s battery supply chain with a drop-in solution
The European Parliament’s decision to introduce tougher sustainability and labelling requirements for batteries and electric vehicles could set a benchmark for the entire global battery market.
This increased global focus on supply chain due diligence will highlight that graphite anode is one of the leading causes of carbon dioxide emissions in battery production.
The tipping point: CarbonScape biographite technology scaling at critical time
CarbonScape’s revolutionary biographite technology is poised to replace one of the most polluting parts of an electric vehicle’s battery, the graphite anode.
It comes not a moment too soon in the race to decarbonise the global economy, says CarbonScape co-founder and world-renowned climate scientist Professor Chris Turney, on his most recent visit to CarbonScape’s pilot facility.
CarbonScape opens European office
CarbonScape is taking a leading role in building a sustainable domestic battery raw material supply chain in Europe, by opening our first EU office.
CarbonScape - pioneering green batteries
“Electric vehicles are a massive part of the global effort to tackle climate change. But the batteries that power them are big polluters, too.”
CarbonScape’s world-first solution to this problem has been featured as a New Zealand Tech & Innovation Story. Read the article and watch the video.
The ‘seismic change’ to net zero and the growing graphite dilemma
We all know by now that burning fossil fuels is bad for the environment.
But, people like driving cars. That’s unlikely to change.
Electrification of the world’s transport fleet is key to reducing fossil fuel emissions. Electric cars, currently a consumer choice, will eventually become the only choice.
This transition can only be sustainable if the materials used for EV batteries are sourced sustainably too. Especially graphite anode.
Freedom from the chain - a change of direction for global graphite anode supply
The headwinds for the current global supply of graphite anode for electric vehicle batteries are undoubtedly strengthening.
Demand for electric vehicle (EV) battery-grade graphite is growing at an eye-watering pace. But, with China controlling most of the world’s anode production, governments of other growing EV regions are investing in bringing battery raw material supply chains onto home shores.
CarbonScape has the sustainable solution to free the chain.

Introducing the CarbonScape intern crew of ‘22
This summer, CarbonScape had three talented University of Canterbury student interns at our Riverlands pilot facility. They arrived during a very exciting time, as we scale up production of our sustainable biographite and commercialise our patented technology around the world.
With career aspirations in differing areas of engineering and technology, Cleo, Simon and Oscar all have one goal in common: To use their skills to create a sustainable future for all.
