Many industries use materials with a high carbon footprint originating from the fossil fuel industry to produce essential products that our economy relies on today. These materials, such as cement or carbon black can be difficult to replace, due to their availability and properties. Carbo Culture’s Biographite® conductive carbon is a circular solution that can replace industrial materials that emit CO2 and store additional atmospheric carbon simultaneously.

Green Building Materials

The cement industry urgently needs decarbonisation efforts because it is the source of ~8% of all global CO2 emissions. Testing has demonstrated that at more than 10% loadings within the cement fraction, our Biographite® materials improve the mechanical properties of cement and concrete. Therefore, further enabling emission reductions. Secure a supply of our highly stable Biographite® product to sequester carbon and improve the sustainability of cement, for climate-friendly concrete!

Biocomposites

Many commonly used plastic and composite products are made out of carbon black and other synthetic materials that have a high carbon footprint. By using Biographite® carbon, the industry can reduce its reliance on fossil fuel-derived carbon black, lower carbon emissions, and promote circular economy practices.

Our highly conductive Biographite® materials enable an entirely new set of carbon materials which can replace fossil fuel byproducts within various applications like batteries, supercapacitors, conductive biocomposites, conductive inks, and more. Carbo Culture’s Biographite® solution will be instrumental in transitioning our economy away from hard-to-replace fossil materials.

Conductive Concrete

Through successful R&D trials, we have been able to demonstrate that our Biographite® carbon can be embedded into concrete enabling electrical conductivity. When incorporated into the concrete mix, these materials create a network of conductive pathways within the cement matrix. This enables an environmentally friendly way for many applications such as self-heating pavements, de-icing surfaces, precast concrete curing, and electromagnetic shielding. 

Energy Storage

As electric vehicles and energy storage become requirements for the transition to an electrified world, Carbo Culture’s Biographite® carbons can help make this a reality. It is possible to replace the carbon in the electrodes of batteries and supercapacitors with this highly conductive, cost-effective, and sustainable material.

Conductive Biocomposites

In addition to reducing the carbon footprint of composite materials, Carbo Culture’s Biographite® material has the right properties needed to create conductive biocomposites for a range of potential uses.
