The increasing demand for graphite in battery manufacturing is creating a supply chain vulnerability, as over 80% of the world's advanced graphite is produced in China. Traditional graphite production methods, whether natural graphite mining or synthetic graphite production, involve environmentally destructive practices, hazardous chemical processing, high energy consumption, and significant CO2 emissions.

Homeostasis is developing a technology that converts CO2 emissions directly into high-purity graphite through a proprietary molten carbonate electrolysis process. This electrochemical reaction occurs at lower temperatures than conventional synthetic graphite production, reducing energy requirements and costs. The process uses CO2 from industrial sources as feedstock, producing graphite and oxygen as a byproduct. This approach aims to establish a domestic, sustainable graphite supply chain, reduce reliance on foreign sources, and transform a waste product into a valuable material for battery manufacturing and other applications.

Patent-pending molten salt electrolysis technology for converting CO2 directly into graphite

Operates at 650-800°C, significantly lower than the 2500-3000°C required for conventional synthetic graphite production

Modular reactor design for scalable production

Production of high-purity graphite with >90% graphitization and 99% purity after post-processing

Eliminates the need for hydrofluoric acid and petroleum-derived feedstocks

Potential for co-location with battery manufacturing facilities and industrial CO2 sources

The primary target audience includes battery manufacturers, electronics companies, and industrial partners seeking a secure, domestic, and sustainable supply of high-quality graphite.

Homeostasis plans to generate revenue through direct material sales of graphite to battery manufacturers and technology licensing to industrial partners with CO2 emissions.
