CO2 to high-performance synthetic graphite anode material for lithium-ion batteries more than 3x cheaper than the world
Graphite is an important input to a number of materials and technologies that play a critical role in the energy transition, including lithium-ion batteries. However, it’s also produced from fossil fuels and is a significant source of CO₂ emissions. Maple Materials has developed a breakthrough process that uses electricity to split carbon dioxide into graphite and oxygen.
Description
Milestones
In 2024, Maple gains offtake commitments from two large industrial groups for 10,000+ tons of battery grade synthetic graphite.
