Estonian startup UP Catalyst secures €2.09M; sustainable carbon nanomaterials and graphite from CO2

Green Car Congress

million in grant funding secured earlier this year. These materials can be used in electric car batteries increasing the energy and power density, speeding up the charge rate and improving the lifetime significantly. UP Catalyst uses a molten salt carbon capture and electrochemical transformation method to reprocess the CO 2.

UP Catalyst offering carbon-negative graphite for European battery supply chain

Green Car Congress

According to the European Carbon and Graphite Association (ECGA), there are only two small mines in the EU—located in Austria and in Germany—but the mined grades are not suitable for energy storage applications. The process is powered by either wind, solar or hydro energy resulting in a carbon negative production line.

This has radically improved what can be done with high-voltage transmission lines, MRIs, and energy storage. We showed that we could basically hand-build 16 winding coils and assemble them into one high-performing magnet,” says Sorbom. The team kept the magnet energized in a steady state for about 5 hours. “We
