Watch: 2022 in review
This year we scaled up production of sustainable biographite at our pilot facility, and successfully brought our technology to the attention of the world.
Watch this summary of key achievements for 2022!
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.
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.
Graphite anode - natural vs synthetic or… biographite?
The true environmental impact of lithium-ion batteries, particularly in the electric vehicle space, is under close global scrutiny and debate.
And so it should be.
Graphite, as a key component of battery production, is regularly in the spotlight of this debate.
Bio-based material enters battery supply chain
A recently announced partnership between two big industry players in Europe to create sustainable batteries using lignin-based hard carbon is an exciting one.
The goal to replace polluting mined and synthetic graphite in lithium-ion batteries is great – but we already know there’s another, sustainable way to produce it.
