UP Catalyst sets a new industry standard for low-emission, high purity carbon nanotubes and battery-grade graphite
Tallinn, 19 December 2024 UP Catalyst, a deep-tech company producing sustainable high purity carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and battery-grade graphite from CO2 emissions, has achieved the lowest carbon footprint for CNTs and one of the lowest for battery-grade graphite. The cradle-to-gate LCA was conducted by Research Institutes of Sweden (RISE) and critically reviewed by Bureau Veritas […]
Scaling Deep-Tech Production: From GEN1 to GEN2 Reactor
In May 2024, the International Energy Agency (IEA) released the Global Critical Minerals Outlook 2024, predicting that by 2030, 93% of battery-grade graphite will come from China. The IEA identifies graphite as a mineral with very high geopolitical risks, highlighting that its supply can be easily disrupted, and prices could surge unexpectedly. Apart from the […]
UP Catalyst secures €4M in funding to reduce Europe’s reliance on Chinese carbon materials
The company will utilize the funds to scale up their local production of carbon materials and graphite derived from CO2 emissions, offering a sustainable alternative source of raw materials to European battery manufacturers. UP Catalyst, a pioneer in sustainable carbon material production directly from CO2 emissions, successfully closed a €4 million seed investment round to […]
Battery Gigafactories in Europe: Navigating Supply Chain Risks
The transition to electric vehicles (EVs) is gaining momentum worldwide, and Europe is leading the charge with an ambitious plan to construct 50 battery gigafactories by 2030. These mega-factories will collectively produce enough batteries to power a staggering 18 million electric cars every year. This bold initiative reflects Europe’s commitment to sustainable transportation and positions the continent […]
