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.
The timber trail to a sustainable battery
People often ask us, understandably, “are you cutting down trees to make batteries?”
No.
There’s no need!
Decarbonizing US battery supply chains with biographite anode
No American EV manufacturer can claim a local supply chain for battery anode. Graphite, which is not produced in the US but comprises 25% to 30% of a lithium-ion battery, is a particular sticking point.
How can the US create its own supply chain, while meeting clean energy and decarbonization goals?
CarbonScape CEO Ivan Williams brought real solutions to this question at the Credit Suisse Carbon Negative Conference 2.0.
