Startup produces synthetic graphite for electric vehicles from wood chips

Báo Thanh niênBáo Thanh niên20/12/2023


According to Business Insider , the startup, CarbonScape, produces synthetic graphite by heating waste from wood production through a pyrolysis process to create biochar. This material is then crushed and converted into raw graphite, which CarbonScape says is “a more sustainable option.”

“Our mission is to decarbonize the battery industry,” said CarbonScape CEO Ivan Williams. “That also addresses a number of other issues, including localizing the supply chain.”

Producing a viable alternative to graphite is increasingly important for Western countries to replace the LFP (lithium, iron, phosphate) batteries that many electric vehicles use and avoid dependence on a single supply chain source, avoiding any potential disruptions to the supply chain in the future.

Some critics have questioned CarbonScape’s idea, saying it requires too much wood chips and isn’t as cost-effective as graphite. Still, the company received $18 million in funding from European forest products company Stora Enso earlier this year, opening the door to supplying the new technology to Europe. Hong Kong-based battery maker Amperex Technology has also invested.

It is known that electric vehicle production is increasingly expanding globally. Therefore, the search for sustainable battery material supply sources is receiving increasingly strong support to meet the carbon reduction trend that the world is aiming for.
