CarbonScape Secures U.S. Patent for Breakthrough Graphite Technology, Advancing Domestic Supply of Critical Raw Materials for EV Batteries
CarbonScape, a deep-tech innovator in battery-grade graphite production, secured a U.S. patent (Patent No. US12187615B2) for its method of producing high-quality graphite from biochar. This process, instead of traditional mining, utilizes biomass as a renewable resource, addressing supply chain vulnerabilities in the electric vehicle (EV) market. Recently, the company achieved a 90% spheroidization yield, indicating its efficiency in graphite production and has established agreements for sourcing woodchips in the U.S. to support its operations. CarbonScape also plans to build several industrial plants across Europe and North America, with operations starting at a demonstration plant in 2026.
