Versatile applications
Bio-hard carbon
CarbonIP’s bio hard carbon is engineered specifically for lithium-ion and sodium-ion battery anodes.
Activated carbon
Activated carbon derived from lignin and produced through proprietary processes is an ideal component for supercapacitors.
Renewable materials
We use recovered lignin from conventional pulping
processes to create bio hard carbon - a sustainable substitute for traditional mined and synthetic graphite, as well as activated carbon for use in super capacitors. Traditional graphite is typically mined or synthetically produced in Asia with negative social and environmental impacts.
 
Activated carbons are also typically sourced from Asia and derived from coconut coir or hydrocarbons. Lignin, containing high carbon content and phenolic precursors provides a high yield and superior electrical properties to the conventional activated carbon.

Superior electrical performance 
CarbonIP’s research and early-stage production demonstrate that our lignin hard carbon and activated carbon match or surpass the electrical properties of existing mined or manufactured graphite supplies, and commercially produced activated carbon with added enhancement.
Supply chain resilience
By producing our bio carbon products in the Americas, we reduce overseas graphite sourcing, mitigate supply chain risks, and enhance the region's energy security.

Reduced environmental impact
CarbonIP’s innovative and proprietary thermal process is less energy intensive than traditional graphite production. When powered by clean hydro-power electricity, it can approach a nearly net-zero energy footprint.
Consistent, efficient production
Efficient manufacturing processes and local production capabilities provide a consistent, cost-effective solution for the growing battery market, delivering economic benefits to both producers and consumers.

Circular economy opportunity
Our sustainable process fosters a circular economy by minimizing dependence on traditional graphite. This promotes resource efficiency in the battery supply chain and supports local communities.
Intellectual Property
CarbonIP is focused on 3 patent families ranging across bio carbons for supercapacitors and battery anodes, and lithium sulfur battery technologies. Our patent strategy extends patent protection to North and South America, Europe, and Asia, with ongoing innovation driving additional patent applications.

Our flagship technologies and IP drastically improves conductivity of bio carbons, manipulates their surface area, and offers a superior method to imbed materials in bio carbons.
